Best Hiking Routes to Schweizertal Mills and Ruins

Tips

  • The Schweitzertal is a very steep, beautiful passage that is secured with steel cables. On the way one is repeatedly pointed out to the remains or former locations of mills. 2 mills are still standing and are inhabited.

  • The. Swiss valley is rocky, wet, mossy. You could call it a gorge. Of the six mills that operated in the valley, two are inhabited.

  • The most impressive thing about the Swiss Valley is experiencing how hard life was in this valley back then. This all happens casually as you walk past the panels that describe the fates of the mills, the people, and the hardships in this wonderfully overgrown valley.
    For example, the miller of the "Schlappen Mühle" (Schlappen Mill), who transported his grain and flour on foot through the narrow valley with a donkey, wearing only slippers and no shoes.
