Kalborn Mill

Where? Kalborner Mühle, L-9757 Kalborn

The mill in Kalborn, which is over 200 years old, has developed into a nature conservation centre. Endangered river pearl and brook mussels are bred here. Information boards in front of the mill show how gardens can provide habitats for wildlife and insects.

The over 200 years ol mill in Kalborn has found over the course of time a new purpose in the field of nature protection.
