Using the natural power of flowing water is an ancient human invention. Millstones were often powered in this way to grind grain into corn. The concentration of so many mills in a relatively small area that used to exist here is also evidence of the rich agricultural harvest, as there was obviously a need for so many mills.

The mills are worth the small climb!

a real highlight are the 13 mills, which line up in a small stream valley over a length of 250 meters. Some of the mills have expired, one is still waiting for an heir, because the owner has disappeared in the war. The other mills are lovingly restored or just inhabited. Definitely worth a visit.
