A new experience of old craftsmanship

Handicraft

Description

Hoes, axes and hatchets once made their way from here into the wide world. The sparks of the glowing iron, the pounding of the hammers and soot-blackened faces left their mark on the region for centuries. Today, the restored hammer mill is used for blacksmithing demonstrations and amateur blacksmithing courses.

Tip: Forging days at the Fahrngruber Hammer
