“The mill clatters by the rushing stream” - guided tour to the six former mills of the Säubrenner town. As part of the cultural-historical exhibition “Mills in Liesertal” at the Old Town Hall in the marketplace, the Tourist Information Wittlich City & Land and the Cultural Office of the town offer exciting tours along the six former mills in the urban area.
As part of the cultural-historical exhibition "Mills in the Liesertal" in the Old Town Hall at the market, the Tourist Information Wittlich City & Land and the Culture Department of the City offer exciting walks along the six former mills in the urban area.
Hiking guide Albert Klein takes participants on a captivating journey through the engaging history of the Wittlicher millers and the city's history shaped by hydropower. The approximately two-hour tour evokes nostalgic childhood memories of creaking mill wheels, swimming with fish in the natural swimming pool, and the scent of freshly baked bread. Anecdotes about the resourceful miller Anton, who built his mill on the electoral waters in 1739 without the permission of the nobility, or about the quaint beer garden of the Viezmühle, which meant summer and happiness for many Wittlich residents: Albert Klein humorously conveys well-founded historical knowledge and reveals partly well-guarded secrets of the Wittlicher miller families.
The unique mill experience is completed with the enjoyment of regionally produced Viez, freshly baked bread, and delicious dips.
