I like to take a path that runs along a stream. At the beginning of the section, there was hardly any water to be seen. Further down towards the valley, the ditch carried a good amount of water (April)

Along the water. Pure relaxation, but ⚠️.. you might also encounter a bike coming towards you here

These views of the castle complex are always absolutely beautiful.

The mill, romantically situated in the Pommernbach Valley, was originally built to harness the natural power of flowing water. Now, thanks to a modern photovoltaic system, it also harnesses solar power.

Pyrmont Castle was first mentioned in writing in 1225. The more than 800-year-old keep still significantly shapes the overall appearance of the complex today. In its current form, the castle combines architectural elements from three central epochs of European cultural history. Currently (as of 24.04.2026) unfortunately still closed.

Near the bus stop there is a small information board about the Pyrmont Mill 🤓.
