Trail to the Gute Brunnen Spring

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The trail runs along the Saubgraben for large parts and in a few places directly, so that the edge of the path is the bank of the ditch. However, it is easy to ride as it is not rooty or rocky.

White Cross

Highlight • Monument

The cross commemorates an event from 1838. The district ranger Johann Wilhelm Alwens was attacked by poachers at this location. They threatened to tie him up on an oak tree. At his constant request, the poachers released him. Out of gratitude, he cut a cross into the bark of the oak trunk. Johann W. Alwen's successor, the forester Gambichler, had the dry oak fell in 1848 and the White Cross built from its wood.

Bienwaldmühle (modern grain mill)

Highlight • Monument

Since the 12th century water mills have existed at this location on the Lauter. Today's Bienwaldmühle, right on the French-German border, is a large, modern grain mill with a 120 kW turbine driven by hydropower. The mill processes around 15 tons of grain daily. The imposing attic building dates back to the 18th century and is a listed building.
The Lauterwehr of the mill was extended in 2011 with a so-called fish ladder to facilitate fishing and other river creatures to overcome the weir and to improve the ecological condition of the Lauter.

Panzergraben Schaidt

Highlight • River

The former anti-tank ditch begins behind the old station building Schaidt and ends at the Bienwald. At that time the armored ditches around Schaidt had a length of several kilometers. Today, however, only about 600 meters are available and this 'pond' is used by the Schaidter fishing club as a fish pond, a beautiful calm waters.
