250 year old oil mill with overshot water wheel in the Morbachtal. There are some farm implements from bygone times on the mill site. There is a holiday apartment in the mill. Unfortunately, we could only see the mill from the outside. Guided tours are probably available by appointment. In addition, you can start the dream loop oil mill circular route over 7.5 kilometers.

The historic oil mill in Morbach-Schmausemühle is part of a listed mill complex (since 1982) and was restored after its purchase by the municipality in 1997 – including a reconstructed waterwheel based on plans from 1923. It is also the starting point of the "Oil Mill Tour" dream trail.
