Apriacher Stockmühlen

Eight wooden mills stand on tall supports along the Apriachbach stream, forming a cascade of traditional grain processing facilities at 1500 meters elevation.

The mills date back to the 18th century, with the Schmutzer Mill specifically marked from 1792, representing agricultural practices of Alpine farming communities.

Each mill features a vertical water wheel mechanism called Mühlstock, connecting directly to the upper millstone while the lower stone remains stationary.

The site opens Tuesday and Thursday from 10 AM to 12 PM, with adult admission at 2 euros and children aged 8-14 paying 1 euro.

The mills utilize an ingenious water system where the stream flows continuously from one wheel to the next, enabling simultaneous operation of all facilities.
