Bennauer Mühle was a historic mill in the Westerwald region of Germany, first mentioned in 1554. It operated as an oil and grain mill, but was closed around 1900, and the building burned down in 1932.

A wide view over the Sieg River, with the aquatic plants swaying in the current below. A lovely starting and finishing point for hikes near Herchen. It's a good 400 meters from here to the train station.

A very nice and varied tour. However, due to the rain in some places, sturdy footwear is required.

The area was significantly expanded and renaturalized through major clearing and mulching work in October 2024. It is a habitat for rare plant species that have been scientifically recorded.

In autumn 2024, the aging black shelter was replaced with a new structure. A panoramic lounger was also installed to better enjoy the view all the way to the Siegquelle spring on the Ederkopf in the Rothaargebirge.
