Schmidmühlen nestles in the valleys of the Vils and Lauterbach. The special thing about this small place are the three castles in the center: the Upper Castle, which is now home to the town hall, the Hammer Castle and the Brick Castle. Upper castle and hammer castle used to be aristocratic residences and the brickworks castle was built by the heir of a brickworks owner who earned the money he needed by making snuff boxes.

Schmidmühlen is a recognized climatic health resort. Here you will find cozy overnight accommodations and a good selection of inns.

The town hall is also known as the Upper Castle and the Hammer Castle as the Lower Castle.

A lot of interesting information about the place and the adjacent Hohenfels military training area can be found on the municipality's website

A nice place and start of the juniper hiking trail from the town hall. But it's worth strolling through the town.
