The Vogler hammer mill (1923) is driven by a so-called medium-sized water wheel. The workshop furnishings have been completely preserved: forge, hammer frame with tail hammers, corrugated tree, workbenches and numerous handicraft devices. The owner is Alfons Vogler, who despite his age still occasionally works in the forge and demonstrates his craft to visitors.
