The Masel-Mühle (also known as Mühle Heinersreuth) is a historical landmark right in the core of Heinersreuth. The name comes from the Maisel family (formerly often spelled "Masel"), who owned the mill for over 300 years, from 1709 to 2011. The mill was first documented in 1398 in the Landbuch A, making it one of the oldest sites in the municipality. The current main building is a stately, two-story sandstone block with a hipped roof. The facade is marked with the year 1846, although the core of the building is significantly older. Originally, it was operated as a classic grain mill with water wheels. In the 20th century, the technology was modernized and converted to turbine drive. Active milling for flour ceased in the second half of the 20th century. Like many mills on the Roten Main, the Masel-Mühle is now used for regenerative electricity generation using hydropower.

Starting point for a detour to the supposedly most beautiful part of the Teufelsloch nature reserve. At this bridge, the Teufelslochgraben begins to flow down over rocks and stones in the form of numerous waterfalls. There is a small "parking lot" above the bridge.
