For centuries, the Mühlbach, also known as the „Mühlbrunnen“, was an indispensable source of drinking water for the people in Eybach and the surrounding Alb villages. Today, the Mühlbach spring invites hikers and excursionists to pause. Source: https://www.schwaebischealb.de/attraktionen/muehlbachquelle#/article/967f9bf7-56d6-44fe-aaf6-9ecc5d48b3af

The metal steps are part of the hiking trail through the wild and romantic Felsental valley, a section of the Lion's Trail "Geislinger Felsen-Tour." They are located at the end of the valley, where the valley narrows considerably and the rock faces rise steeply. The steps help you safely negotiate a particularly steep section.

The oil mill was once powered by the power of the Eyb, a small stream. Large mill wheels generated mechanical energy to press oil from regional raw materials—an indispensable product in everyday life in past centuries.

The Messelberg is a soaring mountain. A rocky cliff at 743 m above sea level, it protrudes from the Messelberg. From here, on a clear day, you can see as far as the Black Forest, about 130 km away. The Swabian Alb North Rim Trail, which runs along the edge of the Alb trauf, offers particularly beautiful views far down into the Fils Valley at the Rötelstein and Messelstein viewpoints near Donzdorf. One of the Lion Trails also leads along the Messelberg, a bare rock that protrudes from the green Messelberg. The Messelberg is also home to the Donzdorf Flying Group's gliding airfield. Not far from there, next to the Rötelstein, is the launch pad of the Staufen Hang Gliding and Paragliding Club.
