Mill hiking trail Geiseltal

Short description

Formerly, the "Geisel" operated 17 mills, of which five mill buildings are still standing.

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. At the beginning of the last century, the mill was expanded in half-timbered style and due to its size, it is a building that characterizes the city.
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 serves as 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. During the hike, 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 supplemented in various ways. Combinations are possible, for example, with the Panoramaweg Mücheln and the Rundweg Müchelholz.
Lake Geiseltal is a recreational paradise for cyclists and hikers. Water sports enthusiasts of all kinds will find plenty of opportunities here.
