Historische Wassermühle Birgel
Birgel
Eifel Mill Centre
The historic Birgel watermill is a unique mill experience centre and the largest in Europe.The four mills are still in operation today: mustard mill, grain mill, oil mill and sawmill. The oldest of the four mills - the grain mill - was built in the 13th century and was powered by water at the time. During the daily mill tours, all four mills are in operation and give an impressive impression. Of course, visitors can purchase all the products from the mills as culinary souvenirs in the mill shop. Freshly baked bread from the mill bakery and schnapps from the mill's own distillery round off the experience.
Schnapps distillery:
The distillery can be visited as part of the mill tour. If you would like to try your hand at distilling yourself, you can take part in a schnapps distilling seminar.
