Klappermühlchen

From the section golf course Trageser wonderful to drive. It is partly only on narrow trails through the Rodenbacher / Alzenauer forest. Those who care about scratching blackberries or being burned by stinging nettles should go with long pants.

Great trail nearby, interesting place

Great surprise! We passed a round at Klappermühlchen. It's great that you just find something in the middle of the forest. It's fun to watch for a moment before taking the beautiful trails through the forest.

The Klappermühlchen is a miniature mill house in Alzenauer Stadtwald. It has a small water wheel, which is operated by the water power of the ditch. Part of its water is bundled over an artificially created channel and directed to the mill wheel. This then turns a disk, which is occupied with dwarf figures. The dwarfs walk through a window in the interior of the house. With the help of this disc four tiny hammers are moved, which hit two different metal plates. Due to their different length and strength, each tone produces a different tone. The "rattling" of the mill can be heard from several hundred meters away. The mill house was built in 1913 and today is maintained honorary. The area around the Klappermühlchen is fenced and must not be entered.

The moat flows into a narrow gorge about eight meters deep, where its only tributary, a small stream coming from the left, flows to it. The ditch now hits the so-called rattle mill.

Nice trail up to here

Fantastic uphill all around the Klappermühlchen

Wonderful game for children in the middle of a wonderful trail landscape.

The trails around it are simply absolutely fantastic and the Klappermühlchen is a great place for the whole family!

Small mill wheel with hammer mechanism

The Klappermühlchen just beautiful. It's been around for decades and has often been there by bike for the first time. Great paths all around.

History in nature with great trails!
