On the trail of historical mills at Zeulenrodaer Meer

For hundreds of years, water wheels turned in the Weida valley of the Saxon-Thuringian Vogtland and powered numerous mills. These were mainly cutting and grinding mills. But fulling, tanning, bone, oil, paper, and hammer mills were also present. At one time, there were over 100 mills in the Weida catchment area, providing people with work and bread. Unfortunately, most fell victim to the "mill die-off." To keep these mills remembered for posterity, the circular hiking trail "Mühlenkreisel" informs via information boards about the former mills and their significance in past times.

The "Wasserläufer" project is a new hiking project that creates new circular trails on the existing hiking network. The circular hiking trails are continuously developed to offer a high-quality hiking experience.
