Por qué merece la pena hacer este viaje

This is the last waterwheel-driven agate grinding mill on the Idarbach, and it shows the physical process that turned a local stone deposit into an international cutting trade.

Antes de marcharse

The operator states that advance registration is necessary for groups of 20 or more and that bookings are made online through Ticket Regional. Commentary in the mill, the small exhibition and the multimedia show is available in German, English, French, Danish, Polish and Dutch; pedal boats can be hired on the adjoining pond for a small fee.
