In October / November, the chestnuts are used to make flour in the Miltitzer Mühle, which you can buy there.

"Near Meissen in the municipality of Triebischtal, more precisely in the district of Miltitz, there is probably the largest chestnut grove north of the Alps.Just beside the church behind the former manor are many of these trees, which discard the fruit, also called chestnuts or chestnuts, in very prickly fruit shells in autumn. Then, many people populate the plantation and collect chestnuts, which can be eaten roasted or cooked.

According to legend, Bishop Benno is said to have planted this plant as early as the 11th century. After the sign at the park entrance, the origins of this grove lie in the 16th century. Citizens and the community made replanting in 1965. "Source: ins-erzgebirge.de/Edelkastanienhain-Miltitz
