Benzmühle

Beautiful mill that can be visited; right next to it is the Vesperstube and also a schnapps fountain invites you for refreshment

Very good inn with delicious food.

This mill is still operated by the Benz family today.

Every mill, including this one, is simply beautiful to look at.

Here you can see all kinds of animals in enclosures in what I think is species-appropriate keeping.

The water is collected in a pond, stored here and, during the mill operation, passed over the taller wooden barge (inlet) to the shafts of the overshot mill wheel (from above). Depending on the position of the inlet on the barge, the rotation of the mill wheel and thus the speed of the mill stone can be regulated.

At the same time, the Benz Mill is a popular excursion destination with a rustic snack bar in the courtyard building with numerous offers for groups such as B. class reunions, club or company trips, etc.

The Mühlenweg (about 12 km) is simply not easy to do, because at each mill the eye and / or the palate will have its friends.

It's worth it and besides, you can still get some food here
