AugenBlick Egenhausen Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

At Kapf, there's a great barbecue area with a swivel grill and benches with a fantastic view. A large information board, part of the Augenblickrunde trail, shows where everything is located.

I've never seen so many large silver thistles in one place.

Kohlsägemühle, Altensteig

Highlight • Monument

Not far from Altensteig, at the entrance to Zinsbachtal, is the historic “Kohlsägemühle”. The mill wheel still turns here today - even if it now drives a turbine, the electricity from which then sets the saw in motion.
First mentioned in the Altensteiger Forestry Book in 1614, the historic farmers' saw is operated by forest farmers from the surrounding districts of Altensteig. The water wheel system demonstrates how a water-powered sawmill was used to process tree trunks.
The mill tours can be booked by arrangement and last approx. 30 minutes (short tour) or approx. 60 minutes (show sawing).

Short tour through Zinsbachtal... Unfortunately, the Zinsbachstube is closed forever, see sign... Otherwise, there was relatively high humidity at the end of the route...😉
