The Gollinger watermill, picturesquely situated by the rushing Schwarzbach stream, is a fascinating testimony to past craftsmanship and a popular photo motif in Salzburger Land. On the way to the imposing Golling waterfall, visitors come across this charming relic from a time when water power determined daily life. It was once part of a whole ensemble of mills that ground the grain of the neighbouring farmers. Today it has been decommissioned, but the sight of it is still inspiring - nestled in a wild and romantic forest with moss-covered stones, crystal-clear water and birdsong.
The mill is just a few minutes' walk from the car park. Its wooden shingle roof, weather-beaten beams and large water wheel look like something out of a fairy tale. Surrounded by ancient trees and accompanied by the steady murmur of the stream, a special atmosphere unfolds here - ideal for nature lovers, photographers or those seeking peace and quiet. The scenery is particularly atmospheric in the soft morning light, in the autumn leaves or after a rain shower, when mist drifts through the trees.
The Gollinger watermill is more than just a pretty photo motif: it is a place to pause, marvel and dream - a small but significant treasure of traditional building culture in the midst of a natural Alpine backdrop.
