For many years, the Lochbach was forced into a narrow, open-top concrete pipe. It was a really sad sight. The renaturation took several years, but the effort was worth it. …

Try Ohligser Strasse to avoid the mud on the Bahndann when it's raining constantly. Not a good alternative with the strange traffic routing including the obligation to use it. Better to take Haaner and Walder Strasse.
