    Here was the Hammerstatt of Peter Dürr, which was mentioned in a document in 1499 and which included a smelting works. In 1601, the miller Nicol Hautmann had a grinding mill built on the same spot. The Rösla drove the grinding mill, the so-called Alte Mühl, and the associated sawmill. The Alte Mühl was in operation until 1956 and was demolished in 1975.

      Circular hiking trails 3 and 4 (short) and the geo trail with lots of information on granite and tin mining in the region run here.

        The former mill was located opposite. A plaque with historical data provides further information.
