Long sandy beach and beautiful sunset

Very beautiful castle, the hedges are beautifully cut in the shape of elephants.

With a few fortunate exceptions, they are rarely used in their original function today, but often serve only as technical and historical monuments to a long tradition of craftsmanship: Powered solely by the power of the wind, the heavy millstones inside were moved, thus, for example, grinding grain into flour (so-called grain mills) or pressing oil from fruits (e.g., olives) (so-called oil mills). Thus, these old windmills are the best proof that people were clever enough to harness the power of the wind several centuries ago – long before the discovery of electricity and the inventions that followed it.

As in probably every other profession, there are also a few so-called “black sheep” among the many honorable millers in the milling trade. In this context, the popular children's book author Otfried Preußler recounts the following short episode in "The Flight to Egypt": "And they didn't even get all the way to Klostergrätz that evening, but there was a mill on their way, the Klostermühle, where they lodged until the next morning. At first, the Klostermühlen miller was almost shocked when the Imperial and Royal Gendarmerie suddenly knocked on his door: There had been some disputes with a customer last week over a few sacks of milling material, which had inexplicably disappeared from the mill here [...] but it could have been that he was reported for it anyway - and now they're coming for him... so, of course, all the disputed sacks of milling material immediately fell from the Klostermühlen's mind, just as [Sergeant] Hawlitschek was now simply requesting a place to stay for the night."

The sight of the lady with the sonorous name "La Liberté éclairant le monde" (in English, "Lady Liberty" for short), impressively raising her arm with the torch, is probably familiar to almost everyone, and most people naturally immediately have the image of New York Harbor in the United States in mind. But perhaps many do not know that the famous Statue of Liberty was given to the American people by France (inaugurated in 1886 by US President Grover Cleveland).

Every year the place surprises with different characters - awesome!
