Hiking

Paul Wittmann's cross mill near Brendlorenzen has been generating electricity since 1947. Until 1972 grain was painted. Today, the plant generates electricity for around 30 households. In close cooperation with the biosphere reserve and nature conservation, a remarkable bypass channel was built, which makes it clear that hydropower use and nature conservation do not have to be contradictory.

Hiking

The Kreuzmühle has been family-owned since the 19th century. In 1947, a turbine was installed to increase profitability. In 1972, the mill was closed due to a lack of profitability. From 1985, electricity was generated using the mill wheel. Wikipedia
