Even on my last tour, the mill with the small chapel looked abandoned, but now there is also a "For Sale" sign next to it. A real shame, by the way, for these historic buildings in a fantastic natural landscape.

Great hiking trail through the gorge, adventurous over stones, bridges and rope-secured climbing sections. Very rustic and natural landscape with a few waterfalls.

If you're lucky, there's a football match on a Saturday and you can buy something to eat and drink after the stage. The car park is right next door and free.

On the way through the Erbach Valley, you pass the Schönecker Mill, which was once a rest stop. But from the looks of things, that's a thing of the past.
