The best cycling routes around Haiterbach

Weir on the Waldach, 300-meter-long drive channel, iron, backward-acting water wheel with spur gear transmission, 6 meters in diameter (originally lined with wooden paddles), 3 meters of head in the drive channel, pump output: 3-5 HP depending on water inflow from the drive channel, double-acting plunger pump from Maschinenfabrik Esslingen from the year 1893 with a high-performance suction and delivery pump and pressure vessel. In 1991, the plant was shut down as a private water supply due to contaminated spring water. Depending on the water level of the Waldach, the pumping station managed to pump 160,000 liters of fresh spring water directly into the houses and into the water reservoir in Bösingen, 2.3 km away and 140 meters higher, in 8 to 14 hours. The spring yields 1-2 liters per second depending on the season.

The Waldach is a river just under 25 km long in western Baden-Württemberg in the transition area between the Northern Black Forest and Gäu. It flows into the town of Nagold in the district of Calw from the right and from the south into the Nagold. The confluence is located at the end of the Nagold knee opposite the Schlossberg with the ruin Hohennagold at less than 400 m above sea level. In total, the Waldach is 24.681 km long and has a catchment area of around 157 km². Its largest tributary is the Steinach, which alone contributes about 53.6 km² to the catchment area.

Great Christmas gathering in Waldachtal

The “Posthotel zur Sonne” (Post Hotel at the Sun) was built in 1697 as one of the first larger buildings outside the Upper Gate on the Vorstadtplatz (Suburb Square) by butcher, innkeeper, and mayor Johann Philipp Deublin. In the 18th century, there was already a royal route for coaches that led from Stuttgart via Nagold to Freudenstadt and Strasbourg. In 1807, King Frederick established a post office in the Gasthaus zur Sonne. A stable for changing horses was added in 1812. At times, up to 50 animals were housed there. In 1898, the business moved to a new post office building on Leonhardstraße. Under Paul and Emma Luz, the post office was transformed into a hotel. During renovations in 1906, running water and electricity were installed. Professor Robert Nachbauer from Stuttgart had the magnificent half-timbering in the Franconian style uncovered and designed the artistically significant inn sign. `` . ... . After taking over the hotel in 1950, Karl-Friedrich and Lore Scholl had it modernized. Until its sale in 1984, the Hotel Post remained in the possession and management of the same family for generations, although the names changed: Deublin, Gschwindt, Luz, and Scholl.

It's a shame that Komoot is spoiling our German with denglich. My text was "Where the Steinach flows into the Waldach."

The wild Urschel was a count's daughter and benefactor of Nagold

Old post station for changing horses. Rumor has it that Napoleon Bonaparte was also here. After all, the historic half-timbered house was one of the most important rest stops on the Stuttgart-Strasbourg stagecoach route. However, it is documented that Federal President Theodor Heuss and also the composer and musician James Lasst stayed overnight here.

well-paved, easy to ride even with "normal" bikes
