    Sieben Muhlen Pfarrwerfen

    Posted by Liana 16 May 2010

    The Sieben Muhlen ( seven mills) is a small museum set on the hillside above the river Salzach. The museum is run by the local community which has raised the money to restore the line of seven pretty wooden mills which tumble over each other on the steep hillside. Each mill has an exhibition inside (in German), on different grains, how the mills work, their part in the local community etc, with plenty of opportunities for being inter-active and hands-on. You'll probably have it to yourself and there are working water wheels to watch and wonky wooden channels full of rushing water to follow and the top mill has a surreal mystical theme that has to be seen to be believed; the Austrians never fail to surprise you!

    Pfarrwerfen is near to Werfen, which can be reached by train from either St Johann im Pongau or Salzburg.
