    In a beautiful landscape, surrounded by a lot of forest and away from any traffic noise, the Höllmühle is a popular destination and starting point for hikes through the Zwickauer Mulde valley, to Rochsburg or the wider area.
    Our cozy restaurant, the idyllic terrace and the boathouse with boat rental invite you to linger. Free-roaming animals delight young and old. In the stylishly furnished guest rooms you can enjoy the peace and quiet and relax.

    The convenient location between Leipzig and Chemnitz offers further scope for a wide range of activities.

    The history of the mill
    As early as 1300 the "Chapel of the wretched Marie" was located here. Later a mill was built in the gorge (cave), from which the name is probably derived. The Höllmühle has existed since 1538.


    It mostly served as a grinding and cutting mill. In 1572 the mill was built from scratch. At that time, hunters from the Counts of Schönburg, who were referred to as chief forester, "sat" on the mill. Later the Höllmüller took over the pond management and in the last century he successfully tried to obtain the serving rights. The mill was connected to the inn. The now over 425 year old mill was reopened in 1992 after extensive reconstruction and modernization. ☺️👍🏻

      Finally open again. Great location to stop by. Lots of animals, nice pond. Good fresh food. Only dogs are probably not so desirable I've heard.

        In addition to tasty food, there is also a small "zoo". You can hike well from the Höllmühle. Or if you like it shorter, just take a lap around the large mill pond.
        A restaurant in the nature that has received several awards.
