Previous use
Water from the Schneeberg area is primarily known as the highest quality drinking water for the city of Vienna . That is why the 1st Vienna Spring Water Pipeline has been leading to Vienna since 1873 . The power of water was used in almost every stream in the region . There were a total of 38 sawmills in 1900 , but due to advancing electrification in the 20th century, they were left to decay. Some sawmills were also operated by the water power of the Sierningbach. Today only three gang saws are in operation.
