Loop
Panoramic hike to the Mühlenstein, Baden-Württemberg.
The millstone tour combines history and nature. The route takes history buffs to the seat of the former bailiff. It goes through beautiful natural scenery and to a cozy resting place in the Höhenwirtshaus within the old Vogtshof.
There, the tragic story of the former bailiff's daughter Magdalene is relived. Her fate is described in the Hansjakob novel "Der Vogt auf Mühlstein". She was forced by her father, the powerful bailiff Anton Muser, to marry a rich, older farmer, although she loved a young journeyman. Not even two months after the wedding, she died of grief over the suffering inflicted on her.
