A magnificent property from the 17th century, which is more and more gnawing the ravages of time. The restaurant closed in 2011. Here is a newspaper article for those who are nostalgic: https://www.schwarzwaelder-bote.de/inhalt.niedereschach-abschied-von-der-muehlenklause.ff8c2161-c0de-4ddf-94e1-0e22030299ab.html
