The Hermits' Mill was established in the Ottoman period and operated until the beginning of the 20th century. A tunnel brought water from Ein Yavke fountain, located 2 km east of the mill, to the upper level, and the waterfall was was used to make flour. Today, the place is closed, but it's still attractive for tourists as the area is beautiful and there's a large sitting area with grass and a small fountain near the river next to the mill.
