In an out-of-the-ordinary endeavor, a well-known brewery installed a noise barrier around its headquarters to prevent noise from being emitted into its surroundings, rather than the other way around. The wall surface was prepared for attaching green moss covers to soften its hermetically closed appearance.
The community of Krombach is situated in a prime location within the Krombach Valley. It is characterized by three inseparable features, namely its natural surroundings, the history of the place, and the Krombacher brewery. Taken together, they determine the place’s overall identity whilst influencing each other. Nature is abundantly visible all across the place, including streams flowing through it like arteries, green meadows and pastures, and beautiful vistas of forest-covered mountain slopes. South of the village, the Krombach stream flows through the area in east-west direction.
