Heinlesmühle Alfdorf

The Heinlesmühle, built in the twelfth century , is a combined flour mill and sawmill. The sawmill, built alongside the main building, is connected to the flour mill with a roofed walkway. The imposing half-timbered building is the only mill on the Mill Hiking Trail that still possesses two mill wheels. The water needed to turn them is brought via a long mill race from the Schwarzer Rot River. Up until the middle of the nineteenth century, the mill was sometimes used as the bailiff’s office and tithe barn for Vordersteinenberg and was also a well-known inn, licensed as a hostelry, for weddings and other occasions. Catering for events, with salt-cake from our own baking house. Beverages and ice-cream served all year round.
