description

The hamlet has about two dozen house numbers, its houses are loosely grouped on the valley floor and on the lowest valley slopes. The southernmost property is a former mill on a mill canal that branches off to the left shortly after the mouth of the Otterbach. It is followed by an inn on the left lower slope, then the river bridge of the Bühlertalstrasse that runs through the hamlet. On the right in front of the foot of the slope there is a stately, but abandoned and dilapidated mill, which was emergency secured around the year 2000 and which drew its water from a mill canal that had previously opened to the right at a weir.

A denser cluster of houses then stands on the mouth fan deposited in front of the kappis blade and on the right bank. The northernmost couple of houses are finally enveloped by the river on the left side of the Bühler, including a third former mill square, where a small power station now generates electricity from a canal that shortens the loop.

Because of its location in the narrow Bühlertal, the flat bottom of which is at risk of flooding, the place had hardly any fields in the past, but mainly meadow farming. Steep hillside meadows that were mowed in the middle of the 20th century fell into disuse and are now often reforested.
