From Eisenschmitt you follow the mill path along the "Mühlengraben". You pass Molitor's mill. The local iron industry was once based here. In 1870 Nikolaus Molitor bought the site and ran the grain mill, developed a dynamo with W. Feuser and brought electricity to the Eifel. The mill was in operation until 1957. In 1963 a hotel was built in the place of the mill and Molitors Mill is still family-owned today.
From Molitor's mill, the route continues past the ponds to Himmerod Monastery.
