Historic Wood-Fired Bakery and Grinding Mill
The Mühlenbäckerei in Schmilka, in Saxon Switzerland, stands for tradition and craftsmanship. As early as 2 a.m., the master baker fires up the traditional German wood-fired oven, and visitors can purchase fresh, wood-fired baked goods in the morning, including cakes as big as a wagon wheel. Best of all: everything is certified organic.

At the Schmilka Mill, you can experience craftsmanship that’s still very much alive! On a tour with the master baker, you’ll explore the working watermill and learn the secrets of the wood-fired oven. Afterward, be sure to sample the sweet and savory treats!
