This highlight 'The Ibach dispute' is part of the Morsbach adventure hiking trail. Why the title 'The Ibach Dispute'? Here are a few sentences about history: The small brook Ibach flows into the Morsbach to the left of the bridge. It's hard to imagine, but its water used to be the livelihood of four mills and hammers. For centuries the brotherly shared stream water was used until everything suddenly changed: The Lindenberg brothers' steel mill burned down on the Büchel in 1856. The new factory that was built not far from here on the heights of the Ibacher Bruch was more than a replacement. In 1864 the bell steelworks with cast steel foundry, hammer mill, grinding shop and two steam boiler systems were put into operation. The water for feeding the steam boilers was to be taken from the flowing Ibach with the approval of the government - the death sentence for the companies dependent on the Ibach, which struggled for water rights over decades. The detailed text can be read on the board attached to the bridge railing (is also attached to the highlight as a photo). From the bridge and to the side of the Morsbach valley you have interesting views of the estuary with its small waterfall.
