    Hiking

    There were six mills in the idyllic valley below Lehesten, all of which have disappeared because they were so close to the border. The people who lived there were forcibly resettled in 1952. At the end of the 1950s, most of the buildings were demolished.

    The Old Mill was given a new meaning by local hiking enthusiasts: a wonderful place to stay for all hikers was created here. Lovingly thought out down to the last detail and well maintained. You can feel at home here!

    My uncle was one of the people who created and maintained this place every day and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
    Please honor this place as it did, enjoy the peace and quiet and have fun exploring 😊
