Bienwaldmühle (modern grain mill)

Highlight • Monument

Since the 12th century water mills have existed at this location on the Lauter. Today's Bienwaldmühle, right on the French-German border, is a large, modern grain mill with a 120 kW turbine driven by hydropower. The mill processes around 15 tons of grain daily. The imposing attic building dates back to the 18th century and is a listed building.
The Lauterwehr of the mill was extended in 2011 with a so-called fish ladder to facilitate fishing and other river creatures to overcome the weir and to improve the ecological condition of the Lauter.

Boundary stone

Highlight • Other

A cross on one side and a key on the other. This means that it must be a very old boundary stone that marked the lower Mundat Forest!
Information about this can be found here, for example: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mundatwald
