    Hiking

    At the power mill there is a campsite and a hotel with a restaurant.
    According to the website of the operator, the mill itself was originally a Lohmühle.
    The first written mention should go back to the 17th century.


    Lohmühlen were used at that time, in order to win the tanning material needed for leather tanning. With the help of the mill tannery-containing oak bark (= Lohe) was crushed.
    The raw material was won in so-called "Luhhecken" (Lohhecken).
    These were oak forests, which were managed in the Nierderwaldbetrieb to this end.

    The hotel and restaurant "Machtemesmühle" is secluded in the Irsental. For decades there is also a campsite with many permanent campers. Also for many years, the former mill in the summer months and especially on the weekends in spring and early summer is a popular (motorcycle) Bikertreff.
    The mill itself is certainly very old. Unfortunately, I have no further information right now.

    Hiking

    If the route indicates you should walk along the main road, it's best to follow route sign 6. This way, you'll walk safely along a beautiful path with stunning views.
