Former Sawmill with Water Wheel

The original site of Sägmühle was flooded by the water of the Silbersee. Only the former mill race and some ruins in which a water wheel was installed remain.

Bridge Over the Schwarzach

Highlight • Bridge

Unfortunately (for us bikers) the section in the forest up to the bridge has been upgraded to a "motorway".

Hiking Silbersee Rundweg is nice any time. The Rundweg is maintained very well so you don't have to expect muddy sections in the mud season. In the summer, you can enjoy a Brotzeit at the little beergarden the Gemeinde Treffelstein has established .

Beautiful circular route around the Silbersee, idyllic section through beautiful nature along the stream before continuing next to the lake. Invites you to linger, alone, for two or with children 🥰
