flood indicator

Posted on January 15, 2011 by kathrin

Gregor who lives in Freudeneck* on a farm much closer to the meadows which get regularly flooded, has a small wooden stick on the fields just behind his barn. When flood water starts to reach that stick, he knows that the road between Höfen and Rattelsdorf is fully flooded, and he has to take a different route to work.

* The next village up the valley, transleted the “Corner of Joy”.
