In the long-gone days of our grandparents, a central bakehouse was common for the village community. In many places, these were eventually demolished. Here in Bolsdorf, however, it has been preserved and still bears witness to the old days.

When we visited on Saturday, July 19, 2025, it was closed at around 2:00 PM, even though the opening hours outside stated "Saturday 1:00 PM - 9:00 PM." ;-( It's a shame, because we were looking forward to a delicious meal based on the good reviews.

The Bielenhof Alm is located halfway along the circular trail if you start in Birgel. It's a great place to stop for a break. I was there on a Friday afternoon. Only self-service items from the refrigerator were available at the self-service checkout. You should also bring some change with you in case of emergency.

The building, the "Old Forge", now serves as a village community center and event location. But as the name suggests, the 19th century building was once used to practice a very old craft that was an essential part of any village at the time. As the craft lost more and more importance in the 20th century, the craft was abandoned and the old building became vacant. In the 1980s, the property was purchased by the town of Hillesheim and extensively renovated in 1981. Since then, it has served as the center of the village for the residents of Bolsdorf.
