View of the Old Mill in Steinenhausen
Highlight • Monument
The mill, of which only a few walls remain today, was twice destroyed by major fires.
In September 1923, a fire broke out on the top floor of the then state-of-the-art mill. The local fire brigades tried to request a motorized pump from Kulmbach – unfortunately, their calls went unanswered, and the delay led to the complete destruction of the mill's equipment.
After the major fire, the mill was modernized again by the owners in 1958.
Then, in July 1962, another major fire broke out. When the fire brigades arrived, several parts of the mill were already engulfed in flames. Despite the valiant efforts of the firefighters and the use of a new turntable ladder, the mill burned to the ground.

A hike through the "Mainaue" local recreation area along the Main and the confluence of the Red and White Main rivers without steep gradients.
We walk from Mainleus about 400 m along the footpath and bike path in the direction of Willmersreuth, after the bridge we turn left onto a field path …

I didn't find the tour that special, maybe due to the time of year. In summer, when there are more migratory birds, it might be different. Initially there were a couple of nice vantage points, unfortunately there was no place on the Main where you could stay right by the stream, such as a gravel bank.
But …
