In 1930, an oil mill was still operating directly at the Laufbach waterfalls, and tools (parts of the oil press) are still on display on a small platform. An information board provides information about the construction.

The (listed) half-timbered houses above the waterfalls also date from this period.

Thanks to the seating, you can also take a short break here.

Sägmühleteich and Sägmühleplatz are, although extensively repaired or redesigned in the 20th century, a legacy from the time when Loffenau operated a large number of mills. – (In 1820 these were:

2 flour mills and 3 oil mills, 2 sawmills, 1 grinding mill.) An oil mill was still in operation in 1930, but fell into disrepair after it was shut down; remains of walls can still be seen on the bridge. A display board and equipment (see pictures) on the visitor platform at the Laufbach waterfalls explain and testify to this.

An information board explains how the small stream was once used here to operate the oil mill.
