Hiking

The old mill wheel next to the chapel symbolizes the Achmühle (Achmühle), which once stood here at the confluence of the Wanghauser Mühlbach and the Salzach River. From here, a themed trail leads to the former sites of the area's other five watermills: Stampflmühle, Sagmühle, Mittermühle, Obermühle (the building still stands here, housing a small mill museum), and Grandlmühle.

Hiking

In the Acher Mühlviertel there used to be a total of 6 water mills in the districts until the 1950s. 5 of them were powered by the Wanghauser Mühlbach and one, the Stampflmühle, used its own spring. All of the mills had a farm attached to them. Most millers had additional income from a small sawmill.
