Quite early in the history of (sedentary) humanity, our ancestors recognized the possibilities offered by harnessing the natural elements. Harnessing the power of wind or water and using it to drive mills, instead of using human or animal muscle power, is probably the most common example. Here, we encounter another use variant: the flowing water didn't move millstones, but instead set a hammer mill—also called a stamp mill in some regions—in motion.

The Love Throne is an impressive yellow sandstone sculpture located on the Sculpture Road from St. Wendel to Bostalsee. Children love to climb onto the throne and enjoy the view.

The lake is most beautiful early in the morning. Great in the morning at sunrise in autumn
