When you arrive on the road (the old Mulhouse-Belfort main road), you follow and then cross the Steinbaechlein, a river which flows from the Doller at Pont d'Aspach and which flows into the Ill shortly after Mulhouse. The Steinbaechlein
once fed a series of mills, and then, from 1746 onwards, made the Mulhouse textile industry rich thanks to its crystal clear water from the Vosges.
