However, the mill on the Dreisbach and therefore named after him is now only a ruin in the landscape. Using the power of moving water to drive a mill wheel is an ancient invention of the human spirit of discovery, the origins of which can be traced far back to times long past.
Thanks to such a construction, it was possible to simply replace human or animal muscle power with the power of natural elements using a watercourse - natural or artificial - in order, for example, to grind grain into grain or press oil from fruit.
There are essentially two drive variants for water mills:
* Either the flowing water simply hits the blades of the water wheel from below to set it in motion; or
* The water flow is guided above the wheel - usually through a so-called "mill channel" - and falls onto the blades. This design ensures greater efficiency due to natural gravity.

Fourteen Holy Helpers Chapel Eichenbach

Highlight • Religious Site

The Eichenbach 14 Nothelfer Chapel was built from 1937 to 1941. Since 1977, a relief from 1626 has formed the center of a chapel wall, in whose niches the wooden figures of the fourteen helpers in need stand. In earlier times they were called for assistance when hardships and dangers threatened the people. Four other saints - St. Elisabeth, St. Hedwig, St. Hubertus and St. Michael - adorn the stained glass windows of the chapel, which was extensively renovated in 2002 and 2003. Since then, the chapel has had an electric bell and there is seating on the leveled chapel forecourt. Source: aw-wiki.de/index.php/14-Nothelfer-Kapelle_Eichenbach

Aremberg Castle Tower

Highlight • Castle

On the top of the mountain there is only one tower left. It goes quite high (over 600 m high) - unfortunately, but you can not see the valley because of the trees standing around. Who expects a nice view here will be disappointed!
