The Ferten House ruins not only provide a glimpse into the former cellar, but also offer seating on a tiny terrace overlooking the vanished village of Königsmühle.

Between the Stolzenhainer hill and the main road No. 223 (the toll road) is the Königsmühle settlement, which used to have seven houses. The approximately 1.5-kilometer route from Háj (Proud Grove) is adorned with old rowan trees and countless mounds of blueberries. The path that used to be used by carts has sunken three meters deep. Only the birds chirp and create a mysterious atmosphere - until the first ruin appears. What was the fate of the 53 former residents of the houses and what has remained until today?

King's Mill belonged to the village of Háj (Proud Grove) in the Chomutov district. The place was deleted from the maps because of the withdrawal and later also the expulsion of its inhabitants. In 1860 there were 53 residents in 7 houses in Koenigsmühle, during the following decade the number decreased (46 residents). Nevertheless, a new house was built there. However, the historical sources are very incomplete.

However, research among the oldest residents of Stolzenhain revealed:

Five houses were used as residences (Fohrmann family, Siegel family, Giebert family, Pöschl family, Siegel family). The others were probably the mill. The grain that was transported there from Bohemia to Saxony was ground in the king's mill and filled into sacks. Hence the name of the street: toll road.
