One of the few water wheels in the area can be seen at the beer mill, although the valley has a lot of water.

The beer mill was first mentioned in 1326. In 1351 a “Pheringer von Biermüln” was mentioned as the owner. In 1558 the mill property was called Bür- or Zeitlmühle; In addition to Biermühle, as in the 17th century, the name Pirrmühle also appears (as in 1622). It belonged to the Waldkirchen church foundation, but was sold in 1628 by the then pastor Eugen Donop to Martin Kühnlein from the Sandmühle (near Mühlhausen).
The beer mill with its medium-sized mill wheel ceased operations in 1956. In 1976 the mill building was demolished.

Unfortunately there is no place to stop for refreshments here and therefore no beer...
