Site of the Former Buttermilchmühle (Buttermilk Mill)

Highlight • Historical Site

Today only the sign, a few stones and a small damaged mill wheel remind of the former mill. In any case, the sign reveals something worth knowing. A hut offers sufficient protection for food and drink (buttermilk😉)

The tour starts at the train station in Ulbersdorf. The Sebnitztalweg, which is marked with a red dot, begins right behind the station building. The path meanders, mostly on narrow paths and above the bank, along the Sebnitz. After 1.5 km you can take a detour to Raschgärtner's robbery castle.
