EN: The river Monderèche flows here through a residential area of the city of Sierre. The channeling of the river has created five small waterfalls that are between one and three meters high. The name of the street "Chemin des Moulins" (Mill Street) indicates that there used to be several watermills here. This means that this channel system is probably very old, maybe several hundred years.

FR: La rivière Monderèche coule ici à travers un quartier résidentiel de la ville de Sierre. La canalisation de la rivière a créé cinq petites cascades d'une hauteur de un à trois mètres. Le nom de la rue "Chemin des Moulins" indique qu'il y avait auparavant plusieurs moulins à eau. Cela signifie que ce système de canaux est probablement très ancien, peut-être plusieurs centaines d'années.
