The Zinsbachmühle is a historic, former grain mill in the idyllic Zinsbachtal in the Northern Black Forest, whose origin at the present location dates back to 1555.

The Kohlsägmühle is already more than 400 years old. It was first mentioned in writing in 1614, located in the Zinsbachtal valley and named after the small stream Kohlbächlein. This date is mentioned in both the Altensteiger Forstlagerbuch and the Dorfbuch of Garrweiler, in whose district the mill stands. From the beginning, it was owned by several forest farmers. Today it belongs to more than 40 co-owners from Garrweiler, Spielberg and Überberg, Grömbach, Wörnersberg and Edelweiler - it is the only mill in the district with such an ownership structure.

The Bömbachsee near Altensteig-Spielberg is idyllically situated, surrounded by forests in the middle of the countryside, and invites you to swim. The small lake is easily accessible via the Ziegelweg, and parking is available. A large sunbathing lawn with shady trees adjoins the eastern shore.

The Bösinger Wasserhäusle was a pumping station and served to transport fresh spring water from a source in the Waldach valley via cast iron pipes to the village of Bösingen (part of the municipality of Pfalzgrafenweiler), 1.4 km away and 140 meters higher. The pumps were driven by the water power of the Waldach. A water wheel with a diameter of six meters was used. The facility went into operation in 1894. In 1911, it was supplemented by an 8 hp gasoline engine, which could now also drive the pumps during low water levels in the Waldach. In 1948, it was connected to the power grid via a transformer station, from which time a newly installed electric motor could serve as a backup drive. The Bösingen's own water supply was taken out of operation in 1991 due to drinking water contamination. The entire facility with its weir, power channel, and pumping station has been protected as a cultural-historical monument since 2000. The pumping station can be visited all day on the Day of the Open Monument. Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/B%C3%B6singer_Wasserh%C3%A4usle

It is a popular destination in the Black Forest, known for its year-round bubbling, crystal-clear water, which soon flows into the Waldach stream. The bench invites you to linger,

Weir on the Waldach, 300-meter-long tailrace canal, iron overshot water wheel with spur gear transmission, 6 meters in diameter (originally with wooden paddles), 3-meter head, pump capacity: 3-5 HP depending on water inflow from the tailrace canal, double-acting plunger pump from Maschinenfabrik Esslingen from 1893 with a powerful suction and delivery pump and pressure vessel. In 1991, the plant was shut down due to contaminated spring water as a private water supply. The pump managed to pump 160,000 liters of fresh spring water directly into the houses and into the water reservoir in Bösingen, 2.3 km away and 140 meters higher, in 8 to 14 hours, depending on the water level of the Waldach. The spring yields 1-2 liters per second depending on the season.
