Wednesday we decided to walk the 4th part of the Wild Water trail starting at Unterdal a valley above Schladming that once had 40 water mills in it but now only one remains and that no longer works. It seems once it became more lucrative to produce milk that could be pasturised there was no longer a need to mill grain so the mills fell into disrepair and floods then washed them away.
I am standing outside one of the local house we thougth about buying as a summer retreat.
The last water mill in Untertal.
The "Happy Trecker" plodding her way up to lunch.
Tettor Moor where the valley widens and there is a beautiful clear trout stream running through the middle of it. In the spring the whole moor floods almost from side to side.
