Guided Story
Imagine the gentle sound of water flowing behind you from the Haarbach. This mill before you once harnessed the power of that water. Look closely at the old millstones; they are worn with history. They tell tales of millers and their families who lived and toiled here for generations. As you glance upwards, picture the waterwheel turning, bringing life to the mill. Right here, you can feel the age-old bond between people and nature. Step a bit closer and let the stories of these stone walls wrap around you.
