UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE information point at the town hall for water management - Information point in a prominent location on the town hall square - but still inconspicuous. Inside: great exhibition with an interactive diagram of the watercourses.
The manager of the point took a lot of time to explain everything to me in detail. This information point deserves a lot of attention. I was impressed and came away with a broadened horizon on this important topic.
