This is where Germany's last operational marble mill is located. It explains in an extremely informative way how the marble balls are made using the power of water:
First, the marble chunks are collected and shaped. Then, the cube-shaped marble pieces are placed in the ball mill.
This special construction consists of the lower, stationary grinding stone (made of hard sandstone from Obersalzberg) and the upper rotating disc (made of beech wood), onto which the water wheel (made of larch wood) is attached.

Great restaurant and a trip to the Ambachklamm is also recommended.

Here is the entrance to the Almbachklamm where the ticket booth is. Here is also a good restaurant to stop off.
