Picturesque waterfall and bridge over the Baderbach to the #ploetzhof. The Baderbachmühle, the last remaining Gmachlmühle on the Baderbach, is directly opposite the #ploetzhof. Half of it belongs to the Unterhöfnergut and the Strumegg farm. Grains such as wheat, rye, barley and oats were milled here until the 1960s. As part of the Ploetzhof II Leader project, important renovation work was carried out on the mill in 2024. The mill wheel and the mill received a new roof and the facade was re-covered with wooden shingles. In the course of this, the subsequent path to the waterfall was also renovated. This now creates a picturesque connection from the impressive old prison to the Baderbachmühle. This now enables visitors to explore three points of interest (POIs), namely the #ploetzhof, the mill and the waterfall, on a walk in the shortest possible time. The information board on the Baderbachmühle explains the historical significance of the old mill and lets you immerse yourself in a piece of Hof's history. The #ploetzhof museum and the Baderbachmühle are easily accessible on a hike from the Hof town center, Fuschlsee circular hiking trail or from the P&R.
