    At an idyllic mill pond in Watern you will first find the Bockenmühle with its undershot steel mill wheel and wooden shovels, which owes its name to the owner Christian Bocken, who took it over from his parents in 1826. At that time, the mill with its two grinding cycles and an oil press was busy for up to six hours a day.

      probably dates from the 14th century. Their name goes back to the noble family of the "von Ophoven" who had their farm on the site of the nearby Motte and who operated the mill. 1639 was Tewis (Mathaeus) Vell Müller of the Ophover mill (dat Müllererken uff der Freyheit).

        A visit to the Bockenmühle is also worthwhile for a short break and
        while letting the impressions sink in.
