Mill hiking trail Geiseltal

Short description

Previously, the Geisel operated 17 mills, of which five mill buildings still exist.

Description

The hike starts at Lake Geiseltal and leads through Mücheln with its former three districts Mücheln, St. Ulrich, and St. Micheln.


The first remaining mill building, the Hohmannmühle, was in operation until 1971. The mill was expanded in the half-timbered style at the beginning of the last century and is a city-defining building due to its size.
The Geisel determines the course of the hiking trail and guides you to the marketplace with the magnificent town hall.
At the former Gutsmühle, you can experience creativity today. The renovated mill building is a venue for workshops and family celebrations and is a center for creativity, idea exchange, and meeting place.
Along the way, signs provide information about all five mills. You will pass by the former Kirch- or Löwemühle, the Floreis- or Apfelmühle, and the Spring- or Elbertmühle.
At the idyllic Geiselquelle, you can refresh your tired feet by wading in the water. This is also the endpoint of the hike.
Tip: The hike can be complemented in various ways. Combinations with the Panoramaweg Mücheln and the Rundweg Müchelholz are possible, for example.
Lake Geiseltal is a recreational paradise for cyclists and hikers. Water sports enthusiasts of all kinds will find something to enjoy here.
