Near the fort, there are still a few remains of the Hankertsmühle (mill), which existed as early as 1371 but was first documented at that time. After the accidental death of the last miller's wife, the miller left the property with his 13 sons in 1912 and emigrated to the USA. In 1913, the mill was purchased by the state for demolition. A small Roman column, now located at the former archway of the property and dating from a Limes structure, shows that in the Middle Ages, the Roman remains were used as a cheap quarry, just as the Hankertsmühle itself was in the 20th century. At the mill, the Kümmelsbächle, the former mill stream, flows into the Rot.

Beautifully located barbecue area directly on the Rot next to the former Hankertsmühle, of which unfortunately only a few ruins remain.
