Presumably, this call barrier is a special feature. Unfortunately, I had no luck here. The quiet automatic answering machine, which I only heard after pressing the call button for the second time, informed me that opening was not possible due to a technical defect. Apparently, I wasn't the first to wait in vain for the barrier to open, because there is already a footpath next to the level crossing. I checked the situation and nimbly crossed the tracks. However, this isn't entirely safe, as the trains travel very fast there.

As it flows, the Waldnaab grinds away granite blocks lying in the riverbed. The anvil is particularly strongly undercut in two directions: one toward the oncoming water (windward, impact side) and—at first glance surprising—also on the opposite side (leeward), i.e., downstream. On the upstream side, the grinding is easily explained by drifting debris, gravel, and sand. On the leeward side, the circulating currents collide, creating eddies that similarly erode the granite.
