Plotzsägemühle, Historic watermill and restaurant in Loffenau, Germany
The Plotzsägemühle combines a timber-framed structure with functioning mill machinery, positioned along the Alb river at 527 meters above sea level.
Established in the 13th century as the first sawmill in the region, the complex was destroyed by fire in 1697 and reconstructed in 1699.
The technical museum inside the former mill displays artifacts from milling history, including an original gate saw from the late 17th century.
The restaurant section, operating since 1880, serves regional specialties while the inn provides accommodations for visitors exploring the Northern Black Forest.
The building complex maintains its original water-powered mechanisms within the Albtal nature reserve, demonstrating historical industrial processes to modern visitors.
