Today they are hardly ever used in their original function, but only technical and historical monuments of a long tradition of craftsmanship: The heavy millstones inside were moved solely by the power of the wind as driving energy and thus, for example, grain grains were ground into flour (so-called grain mills ) or the oil is pressed from (e.g. olive) fruits (so-called oil mills). Thus, these ancient windmills are the best evidence that humans were clever enough to harness the power of the wind for a number of centuries - long before the discovery of electricity and the inventions that followed. So what is celebrated today as modern (so-called green or renewable) energy is basically just the proverbial "old hat in a new guise".

The mill has been lovingly renovated and restored. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to look at it from the inside.

Beautiful and very well maintained mill. Pretty photo opportunity.

Driving through the valley on the road is less arduous with a bike. However, the clearly nicer way is up on the slope over the wavy mill path!

Jörg Kachelmann left his mark here in Upper Lusatia.

Nice little shop in Niederoderwitz.

Here you will find everything you need and a lot more.
