A hammer mill once operated on this site, hence the name. Today, you can look down into the valley of the Veldenzer Bach and the castle above.

The name derives from the former hammer mill, which operated on this site along with an ore smelter as early as the early 17th century. It thus testifies to the county's great mining history, which ended around 1870. The former coal shed now houses the restaurant "Zum Rittersturz." The hammer mill, like the former "Eisenhammer Mill," later "Felten Mill," was powered by the water of the Veldenz stream. Source: Text on the information board.

Beautiful view. For me personally more beautiful view than the long Hammerfelsen.
