The Schulzemühle is Germany's smallest, accessible watermill that is still in operation.

At the Schulzemühle, in the idyllic Eichhörnchengrund in Gauernitz, the fully functional 1:5-scale grain mill is clattering away once again. Grain is ground into flour in this historic mill, drawing crowds of visitors young and old. Although not all of the once-numerous watermills in the Triebisch Valley and the valleys on the left bank of the Elbe remain today, Klipphausen ranks among the Saxon municipalities with the most mills. The mill landscape is a major asset and helps shape the community’s image far beyond its borders. German Mill Day is one of the highlights of the event calendar in the municipality of Klipphausen. Held annually on Whit Monday, this day of activities and themed events centered on mills and milling attracts thousands of visitors to the venues.

Opening times

From Easter through October: every first Sunday of the month from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
