    Hiking

    Just after the bridge over the dam lake is this mill, built in the 16th century with typical granite stones - one of the gateways to the "chaos", the wild rocks. In the past, it housed a dwelling house and a room in which the mechanisms of the mill were located. It was fed by an artificial lake of 15 hectares which collected the waters of two rivers, including the Fao.

    The old mill guards the edge of the forest, embedded between two rocks which keep it from being carried away by the river, which is turbulent at this point.

    Hiking

    Many centuries ago, our ancestors discovered the possibility of harnessing the power of the elements - which on the one hand were helpful and useful, but on the other hand could also be a threat as untamed forces of nature - for different purposes and thus did without human or animal muscle power can. Such mills are a good example of the human engineering skills of earlier generations: the heavy millstones with which, for example, grain was ground into grain or oil was pressed, could be powered with the help of the wind or - as here - water.
