Heritage Site and Exhibition

The Hammerherrn House at Großegg 1 is protected under the statutory heritage conservation provisions. The Mendlingtal Adventure World starts right in front of the house. The former blacksmith journeymen’s house contains an original “Rauchkuchl” (smoke kitchen) and a permanent exhibition. It covers timber rafting, the daily work of the lumberjacks, and the lives of the blacksmith journeymen and their families. The exhibition thus looks at both work-related topics and family life. This gives the local history a clear focus on work and family life, while the protected Hammerherrn House is also a point of interest in its own right.

Historical Themes Along Different Routes

The “Auf dem Holzweg” (On the Wood Path) themed trail tells the story of the lumberjacks, charcoal burners and blacksmith journeymen. In choosing how to explore these topics, the format matters as well as the groups covered: the trail presents them as a narrative along a themed route, while the former blacksmith journeymen’s house contains a permanent exhibition with an original “Rauchkuchl” (smoke kitchen). You can therefore decide whether you would prefer to include this history in your trip as a themed trail or as part of an exhibition.

The Mill and Regional Cuisine

The Großegg Mill is part of the Mendlingtal Adventure World. The Gasthaus Herrenhaus Mendlingtal serves regional cuisine and homemade specialties. In addition to a gorge route and cultural history, your choice of destination can therefore include a culinary aspect that you can take into account when considering your travel interests.
