Watermills and snowy hills - A little afternoon hike

The telescope sheep welcomes you all to my new blog post! It was good weather after two days of rain and snow, so I had to go again.

 

Unterschnait

 

 

 

And the obligatory waterfall :)

 

Now it gets interesting. This is an old watermill, one of the very few left in my village. Back then, almost every bigger farmer had his own mill. They were mostly abandoned in the 50s, because growing wheat or barley wasn't economic anymore and industrial mills took over. Also, flour from mills like these isn't allowed to be sold anymore because of hygiene laws. Still, the mill looks in relatively good condition, except that it urgently needs to be tidied up. The door wasn't locked so I took a view inside.

 

There you see the millstone and other tools for milling. Also in more recent times it seemed to be used as a celebration location - at least there are many empty alcohol bottles, glasses for wine, beer and spirits, also cooking utensils and so on around, but they seem to be abandoned for years. Sad, because everything is so neglected.

 

 

Also, what the fuck is this?

 

A little overview

 

The upper floor. Many dead insects and stuff.

 

 

 

 

 

Hochschnait

 

 

A view of Krispl-Winkl. I will go onto the hill with forest.

 

Hochschnaitberg (948 m)

 

I think that's the summit, but I am not sure.

 

 

 

 

   

Schaffler

 

The snow is not that much, but because of the wind it can get knee-deep.

 

 

Knoglberg (1357 m, left) an Schlenken (1648 m, right).

 

Sun has set behind the Untersberg.

 

A little fish pond

 

 

Tanzboden (1148 m). The hill I talked about bfore. It's not really a summit on it's own, just a little hill on the ridge of the Schlenken, just like the Knoglberg. They just appear to be summits.

 

Little witch cabin ;)

Yes, and that's it.
