Hiking

It pays to go through the old powder mill instead of just looking from above

The Elisenthal powder mill was the largest plant for the production of black powder in the Rhineland. The ruins of the historic black powder mill are in Windeck in the Rhein-Sieg district in North Rhine-Westphalia. It reached about 1.2 kilometers from the Dattenfeld district into the Nutscheid.
