Hammers and mills thus alternate along the river and stream courses in the area. New function for old hammer mills After the decline of the iron industry after the 30-year war, many hammer estates were converted into glass and polishing loops. The method of drive was the same, the water wheels now drove loops in the polishing and a new period of prosperity for the historic estates began. At the beginning of the 20th century, the industries were no longer profitable and the water wheels, which provided energy for centuries, were shut down.

Schoenberg Natural stage The ridge of “Schoenberg” mountain almost reaches the center of Grafenwoehr. While walking through the park-like forest, no one expects such an overwhelming sight. The mighty sandstone blocks of the former quarry draw attention to themselves. Since nearly hundred years the old quarry is a natural stage, where theater, concerts and festivities take place. In the summer time there is a vivid cultural life at the Schoenberg natural stage. Farmers’ Market Since 2015, every week fresh produce from our region is offered on the Farmers’ Market at the Grafenwoehr Market Square in front of the Rathaus on Thursday from 9 a.m. thru 1 p.m. On special occasions there are different days of action, for example a May and autumn market. The weekly market enlivens the town center and is very well accepted not only by local citizens. Nature Trail Bierlohe and Footprints walk Also interesting is the Nature trail Bierlohe.
