Tips from the Community
The Schwanen belonged, like the mill, until 1761 as a fief mill to the Pfullingen monastery, from which it also got its name. Only afterwards did it pass into the ownership of the Röhm families, who successfully operated the mill until the end of the 90s. The Schwanen is first mentioned in the Urach forest map in 1544. Back then and still until the mid-50s, this was a popular meeting place for rafters, fishermen and millers, who earned their living in the mill and on the Neckar. They met in convivial company over wine, beer and snacks, and many a rafter, according to the story, had to "park" his timbers in the Neckar and spend the night in Mittelstadt. In 1971 the Schwanen was dismantled down to the foundations, the timber frame was fitted with new oak beams, enlarged and given the current name "Klostermühle".

Beautifully situated. On one side, a small footpath runs along the riverbank with frequent access points to the water. On the other side, the Neckar Valley Cycle Path also runs along the riverbank and directly through the restaurant, which offers plenty of seating and an exceptional miniature golf course.

A very beautiful lake! It's great to walk around it; you walk right along the shore, and there are many lovely benches with fantastic views.

Located right on the Neckar Cycle Path, Seehaus Aileswasen offers food and drinks, as well as a wonderful terrace right by the lake. Ideal for a break. Bicycle parking is also available.
