The historic Birgel watermill is a wonderful destination for senior citizens’ outings and offers a nostalgic experience that reminds many older visitors of times gone by. With great enthusiasm, you can explore the fully functioning mills that once formed the heart of our community. You can find a summary of this information in our flyer.
Note: All sights in our mill are at ground level, barrier-free and can be reached via short routes.

The day is over and the senior excursion to the Eifel to Birgel to the Historic Water Mill was a complete success. So we are happy with the guest about the great experiences and keep hearing the sentence: “This excursion was great! We’ll come back to the mill and tell it on as an excursion tip for seniors “
