モールバッハのおすすめランニングルート

なるほど、これは本当に興味深いですね

The historic oil mill in Morbach-Schmausemühle is part of a listed mill complex (since 1982) and was restored after its purchase by the municipality in 1997 – including a reconstructed waterwheel based on plans from 1923. It is also the starting point of the "Oil Mill Tour" dream trail.

The natural Kneipp pool is very cool.

Along with agriculture and livestock farming, the mills were not only one of the main sources of income in the Dhron Valley, but also the primary breadwinners of the population. They also shaped the upper Dhron Valley, as the use of hydropower was essential in pre-technological times. The "Heckenmühle" (Hedge Mill) here in the Waldbach Valley was already recorded on maps at the beginning of the 19th century. Since the miller families also farmed, the Waldbach stream ran through an open meadow valley at that time. For a long time, the mill was operated by a Hinzerath milling community. After World War II, the mill was abandoned. The bricks were gradually reused.

How long this cross has stood on the so-called "Totenweg" (Path of the Dead) and for what reason it was erected cannot be determined today. This section of the trail on the Dream Loop LandZeitTour is still commonly known as the "Totenweg" (Path of the Dead). For many centuries, until around 1835, the deceased from Hinzerath were buried in Bischofsdhron at the parish church because Hinzerath belonged to the local parish. The coffins were transported to Bischofsdhron by teams of cows or horses along this path, along fields or burial grounds. It was a long and arduous journey in those days, and incidents could certainly occur. One possible explanation for the location of the cross is that an accident occurred here during the transport of a body. Another story says that there was a fatal industrial accident in the nearby small quarry (about 100 meters to the west). But perhaps the cross was erected as a memorial on the so-called "Totenweg" (Path of the Dead) long ago.
