Description
At the valley entrance stands the former smith journeyman's house. It depicts the life of the smith journeymen and their families. The path itself leads along the timber rafting system and the Mendlingbach through three narrow passages (gorges) over timber rafting paths and bridges past a sluice used to dam the Mendlingbach. Then the visitor encounters a large spring with a functioning mill dating from the previous century and walks to the Hammerherrenhaus, where you can stop for food and rest.
