Around 150 applications from private households and commercial institutions have so far been submitted to the office there, as reported by

Planned costs: 9 million euros. When the Ache overflowed its banks here in mid-July due to heavy rainfall, it tore away several retaining walls. Currently the route is only passable in one lane.
