Hagnau – Wasserwerk
In front of Hagnau's waterworks, steps from the promenade lead to a varied slope that starts flat and grows steeper with depth. At about 5 m you meet a water pipe that you can follow down to its intake at around 45 m; a second pipeline with a smaller intake runs parallel further south-east. With luck, big pike patrol the shallows.
