Mühlenteich Mettingen

Using the power of moving water to drive a mill wheel is an ancient invention of the human spirit of discovery, the origins of which can be traced back to times long past. Thanks to such a construction, human or animal muscle power could be easily replaced by the power of the natural elements through a watercourse - natural or artificially created - in order to grind grain into corn or press oil from fruit, for example.There are essentially two different ways of driving watermills:* Either the flowing water simply hits the blades of the water wheel from below to set it in motion; or
* the water is guided above the wheel - usually through a so-called "mill channel" - and falls onto the blades; this type of construction is more efficient due to natural gravity.

Nice little oasis with art in the middle of Mettingen!

The family circle “St. Agatha” has created a place here on her own initiative to get from
to take a breather from everyday life. In green surroundings and the watercourse of the Köllbach you can
let your soul unwind.
