It took many hands to weave the soft linen from the hard stalks of flax. Traces of this once formative, pre-industrial economic sector, as well as companies still active today in the textile industry that emerged from it, can be found on this route through the western part of the district. In addition, the former typical regional habitat is shown both in terms of landscape and architecture.
