Today there is an inn in the Herfterather Mühle. The milling business was discontinued in 1962 and since 1975 it has been used as a catering business.

Numerous objects from the old mill have been placed on the site, such as millstones and whetstones. The Herfterather Mühle has always served as a grain mill. Remains of the weir can still be identified in the field.

The "old mill" is in its original form as a fresco painting on the front of the hotel wing. In the house there is a coat of arms carved in stone from 1694 from an old bone mill in the "Fairytale Valley". The name of the fairytale valley comes from Engelbert Humperdinck, who was inspired to write the fairytale opera "Hansel and Gretel" while walking there. Even today you can still hike there very well. The paths are well marked by the Sauerland Mountain Club.
