Hexenloch Mill, Watermill in Furtwangen im Schwarzwald, Germany
The Hexenloch Mill stands in a valley by the Heubach river, featuring two distinct water wheels that power different machinery sections of the building.
Established in 1825 and owned by the same family since 1839, the mill started as a nail factory before expanding to include clock frame manufacturing and sawmill operations.
The mill complex includes a restaurant serving Black Forest specialties such as Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte, regional cured meats, and local spirits.
Visitors can access the mill from 09:30 to 18:00, with guided demonstrations of the water-powered machinery and opportunities to purchase regional products.
The larger water wheel measures 4 meters in diameter and generates 13 horsepower while processing 300 liters of water per second from the Heubach stream.

Baden-Württemberg offers a wide range of destinations beyond the usual routes. The region includes medieval castle ruins such as Hohentwiel, Hohenbaden, and Yburg, medieval monasteries like Maulbronn and Alpirsbach, and palaces such as Lichtenstein and Weikersheim. Geological formations shape the landscape: the Blautopf displays a karst spring with distinctive water color, the Wutach Gorge cuts through limestone layers, and Wimsen Cave lies in the Danube Valley. Numerous waterfalls including Urach Falls and Menzenschwand Falls complement the natural offerings. The region combines historical and contemporary elements. The Wildline suspension bridge spans the Enz Valley, the Rottweil Test Tower serves as an elevator testing facility and viewing platform, and the historic Sauschwänzlebahn railway runs on a track featuring loops and tunnels. Parks such as Hohenheim Gardens and Rosenstein Park offer botanical collections. The market square in Freudenstadt displays typical Black Forest architecture, and the Neubulach Silver Mine provides insights into historic mining operations. These destinations allow detailed exploration of the region's nature, history, and engineering.
