This old mill near Hinterhermsdorf felt like a place Krabat from the story by Otfried Preußler (in English sometimes called the Satanic Mill) might have lived, especially since we got there on a pretty gloomy day. Only after returning to the Netherlands did I learn that the village of Schwarzkollm really exists not too far from where we were and that you can visit a replica mill dedicated to the folk hero there. It's going on my list of places to visit next time I'm in the area, but for now I might just have to reread the book soon. It's a great autumn read! (and in my head it's already autumn)
