The region-typical hilly landscape with dense forests and wide meadows forms the setting of the 'Vogtland Mill Quarter' in southwestern Saxony. Around the village of Leubnitz, there were once numerous water and windmills that made the miller's craft an important guild in the region. Today, some mills have been preserved. Most are used for gastronomy. However, you can still trace the craft: following the motto 'Hiking is the miller's pleasure', the Miller's Path guides interested people to all preserved mills and the relics of the once lively trade.
