      The mill seems to be a popular excursion destination. Anyway, we met here along the Gimmlitz most people.
      The mill wheel turns and visitors marvel at the production of an "organic ice cream"; o)

          The Weicheltmühle in the Gimmlitztal in the Saxon Ore Mountains is a technical monument. It was built in 1807 by Reichenau farmer Friedrich Gotthelf Weichelt in the Gimmlitztal. A meal and an oven were next to three acres of land the economic basis for generations to come.

            Pure nature and the old bone stamping - unfortunately often only with advance notification for the museum, Wasserrad 6/2019 dry and therefore in acute danger!

                  Unfortunately no more restaurants. It used to be a really quaint beer garden.
                  Now “only” existing as a building.

                    Unfortunately, the restaurant is closed until further notice (20.08.2017).
