Buschmühle, Historic watermill in Kirnitzschtal Valley, Sebnitz, Germany

The Buschmühle features a water wheel measuring 5 meters in diameter and 1.6 meters in width, generating electricity for the facility.

First documented in 1547, the mill burned down in 1780 and was reconstructed at its current location in 1784 within Saxon Switzerland.

The mill transformed from a simple grinding facility into a mountaineers' gathering point during the 19th century due to limited dining options.

The facility now operates as a restaurant and hiking lodge within Saxon Switzerland National Park, accessible through numerous forest trails.

The last operating mill in Kirnitzschtal Valley continued its grinding operations until 1992 before converting exclusively into a hospitality establishment.
