The ÖAMTC bicycle service station is located at the Hotel Lebensquell Bad Zell; the power outlet is ideal for our e-bikes. Now all that's missing is a bench for my companion to sit and rest.

The Gottstein threshing machine, manufactured in 1957, was purchased by Franz Schinnerl (born 1913) for 8,000 Austrian schillings from Hitzger, also known as Zehetner, in Hartl, municipality of Schwertberg. The original price was 17,000 schillings. This was a one-man threshing machine with dust extraction and a double grain cleaning system. The grain was mostly threshed as it was brought in from the field and was in use at the Schinnerl farm, also known as Salomon, until 1965. Since then, harvesting has been done exclusively with a combine harvester.
