Hiking
This building is equipped with a system that uses wind power to drive a flour mill. Windmills existed in areas with insufficient water supply, on hills or in the plains, when there was regular wind. On Czech territory about 1000 windmills from the 13th to the 20th century were found. It outweighed two types. The "German" type, which turned entirely with the help of a handlebar and the "Dutch" type, in which only the roof with the wings turns against the wind. This mill of the "Dutch" type comes from the German city of Reichstadt.
