Hanzlův mlýn, Watermill ruins in Radkov, Czech Republic

Hanzlův mlýn is a ruined watermill near Radkov built beside a stream that once powered its grinding equipment. Stone foundations and partial walls remain visible, showing how the flowing water activated the mill's mechanism for processing grain.

Hanzlův mlýn, also called Radkovský mlýn, is first documented in 1603. Millers from the Jašek, Schmied, Noske and Hanzl families worked here; by 1826 the mill also had an oil press and a groats mill. It ran until 1953, after which local people dismantled it for building material.

The site now holds a trampská osada, a weekend camp of the Czech tramping movement, and a spring (studánka) beside the ruin. The mill's name recalls the Hanzl milling family, the last in a line that included the Jašek, Schmied and Noske families.

No tourist trail leads to the site; access is only via forest paths, so a map or GPS is needed. The ruins stand in a bend of the Moravice river by Radkov, and the site is freely accessible at any time. A spring and a tramp settlement occupy the spot.

The mill had a leat (náhon) and an undershot water wheel, driven by water hitting the wheel from below rather than from above. Across the Moravice, on the opposite bank, lie two former slate quarries, with more former quarries in the surrounding area. The site is freely accessible and also holds a tramp camp and a spring.
