    Germany's oldest marble ball mill is located at the entrance to the Almbachklamm. Here, chunks of Untersberg marble have been ground into balls since 1683. The ball mill is driven by the water of the Almbach and moves a grinding stone made of sandstone. Depending on the size of the marble chunks, it can take up to a week for a marble ball to be perfectly polished.
