Hiking

The Bertholdmühle, which has been family-owned since 1769, is not a post mill but a former watermill. Since the early 1930s, the mill has been driven by diesel engines, as the water flow has been steadily decreasing. At the beginning of the 1960s, the flow of water came to a complete standstill. Since then, production has been running on electrical energy.

In addition to the guided tours in the mill, a visit to the mill shop is particularly recommended.

There are essentially two different ways of driving watermills:
