Statue on the Saale Bridge in Aura

Highlight • Monument

Somehow the nostalgic St. Nepomuk, who usually stands on bridges, appeals to me more

Aura Hydroelectric Power Plant (former mill)

Highlight • Structure

And since water alone is not enough... on the sunny side... a few more panels on the roof...
At the same time as generating energy, the Saale is cleaned using a rake at the weir

Kneipp basin in the Saale River

Highlight • Rest Area

It is a good idea that you can also use the water of a river to operate a Kneipp pool. Unfortunately, the pool is not always clean here ... there is also faeces from animals ...

Wading Pool in the Saale River

Highlight • River

The municipality of Euerdorf has created a small oasis of relaxation on the Saale.
Here you can take a break and freshen up in summer and a kiosk is also nearby where you can grab a small meal.
