Mill tour from Grünhainichen to OT Waldkirchen

The start is at the train station Grünhainichen/Borstendorf. We walk to the right towards Rochhausmühle. Now it goes steeply uphill to Grünhainichen. At Marbacher Straße we turn left into the town and walk to the open-air music box. It shows itself in its summer or winter variant. After crossing the main street, we hike down Mühlenstraße, past the Spanziehmühle to the Flöha river. A resting place invites you to picnic. Following the marking, we walk to the swing bridge (now a covered wooden bridge) and cross it.

The hike continues towards Schwarzmühle. There works Germany's only butter mold carver, Konrad Martin. He gladly demonstrates the old craft. Following the blue waterwheel, we cross a small wooden bridge, hike always uphill, cross the Alte Börnichener Straße up to the height at the antenna system. Signposts lead us through the forest, to the left to the Waldkirchen circular route or to the right on the bird nature trail back to Grünhainichen. Downhill through the "Engeldorf" Grünhainichen with many artisans we can close the circle.

If we continue to the left, we cross the main street between Börnichen and Waldkirchen. Past the wind turbine, through beautiful meadows with a view of Zschopau, we reach our last destination downhill on the village street, the Rollemühle. On Whit Monday, the German Mill Day, there is a great celebration here together with the blue dye workers.

Further over the Zschopau bridge, we reach the train station Waldkirchen.
