The original church was built in the 15th/16th century and was partially demolished around 1901 and replaced by the current eclectic church. The current church was built around 1903.

A quiet, peaceful place for a walk or bike ride. You can drive around the dam.

Here the path ends before the bridge and the entrance to the velo starts literally right after the bridge. A section of 200 meters in city traffic, plus passing through the lane for the opposite direction 😂💪
