The circular route takes you past the historic Ölmühle and the associated mill pond.
At the idyllic Ölmühle located in the Konzer Bach valley, the corresponding Ölmühlen hiking route begins. The mill, built in 1849 from slate quarry stone, is one of the few mills still preserved in the region. Until 1967, mainly rapeseed or nuts were ground here. At the Ölmühle there is also a pond facility and seating areas that invite you to linger and relax.
The hiking trail leads through the idyllic stream valley, further through sunny vineyards and orchard meadows to the forest edge, with magnificent views into the Konzer valley.
