    Hiking

    A beautiful path through the city, with many well-kept flower boxes and cheerful people.

    Hiking

    Since the 13th century, the water of the Mühlbach, also called Gewerbekanal, has been powering grist mills, oil mills, and a paper mill. Above the suburb of Loh, a weir diverted the water from the Rench.

    The water was also used by the tanneries that had settled along the stream.
    The water was also used to power hemp beaters, for bark mills for grinding tanning bark, for grinding mills, fulling mills, sawmills, and trip hammers.


    Furthermore, the canal served to fill the ditches of the city fortifications and to transport waste from the city.
