After merging with the Flossachtal, the Mindeltal has expanded considerably from Pfaffenhausen / Salgen to the Danube. Up until the beginning of the 19th century, the Mindel had many meanders, accompanied by oxbow lakes and branches in its valley. Then there were increasing regulations and drainage to gain agricultural land and expand villages. The loss of retention areas led to an increase in flooding, especially in the lower Mindeltal. Hydropower has been used intensively in the Mindeltal since the Middle Ages. The Spöcker mill near Kirchheim is mentioned in a papal deed for the Elchingen monastery in August 1225, the Riedmühle near Burgau in a sales deed from 1361. Alone in the area of the main river and the lower Flossach are from the source (Mindelmühle) to the confluence with the Danube still today over 50 earlier mills are known, partly combined with sawmills and hammer mills. At most of these former mill locations, hydropower is now used to generate electricity.

Super rest area for cyclists and hikers. And if it is too hot, jump straight into it. :-)
