This is for those who want to try their security on their feet. If you are not steady on your legs you can get wet. As usual, the surroundings must not be harmed or altered.
Gundrastorp mill og Ekholm sawmill is situated in different parishes, only the road divides them, the first in Vittsjö parish, the other in Ekholm parish. Arriving from south, you find Gundrastorp on the right and Ekholm on the left side along Vieån (the stream Vie), which further down merges into Helge stream, this natural beauty is to be found.
As early as the 16th century, there has been a watermill in Gundrastorp. Many disputes and judgments have effected that the mill functioned as both grain and saw mill. Ekholm sawmill was build around 1780 on the side of the sawmill, there were built a grainmill for household use. Both mills stopped working in 1958, but could still have been running, if not the axleshaft of the waterwheels had broken. After that the mills were closed.
In 1976 the municipality of Hässleholm restored both mills and in 1977 “Vittsjö hembygdsforening” (a local society, which aims to preserve historical buildings and knowledge from the old days) took over the maintenance of the two sights.
It is worth mentioning, that during World War 2, a fortification were build on the west end of the bridge. Remnants can still be found.

Denne er for dem der gerne vil teste deres balanceevne. Er den ikke god nok, kan man blive våd. Som sædvanlig må omgivelserne ikke skades eller ændres.
Gundrastorps mølle og Ekholm savværk ligger i hver sit sogn, kun åen deler disse to fra hinanden. Den første ligger i Vittsjö sogn og den anden i Ekholm sogn. Når du ser fra syd, ligger Gundrastorps på højre side og Ekholm på venstre side. Langs Vieån, som længere fremme løber ud i Helge å, ligger dette naturskønne udflugtsmål.
Allerede i 1500-tallet, skulle der have været en kvern her i Gundrastorp, dengang var det en skvaltmølle. Mange tvister og domme har gjort, at møllen fungerede både som mel mølle og savværks mølle.
Ekholm savværket blev bygget i ca. 1780. Ved siden af savværket blev der også lavet en kvern til husbehov. Begge møller var ude af drift i 1958. Hvem ved, de ville måske stadig fungere, hvis ikke akslerne til begge vandhjul var knækkede. Anlæggene blev derefter lukket ned.
I 1976 restaurerede Hässleholms Kommune begge steder og i 1977 overtog Vittsjö hembygdsförening vedligeholdelsen af disse to seværdigheder.
Det er også værd at nævne, at under Anden Verdenskrig var der et forsvarsanlæg på den vestlige del af broen. Spor af dette kan stadig ses!
