Geocache Description:


This cache is placed at one of three reminds of old small water plants.

Uppermost was a saw-mill, located close to the walk path and that building was still standing 1968.
(About 200 m in bearing 145 degrees from the cache)

In the middle there was a mill, and that mill seems the oldest. Probably built around 1700 and in use to the end of that century.
(About 100 m in bearing 154 degrees from the cache)

Nethermost is the youngest mill, likely built at the end of 1700 or beginning of 1800 and was in use to 1850 at most.
It's remarkable that such small brook was able to spin a so large stone. Perhaps it didn't, who knows.

You'll find the cache at the newest mill. Coordinates differ slightly from the actual cache site.
From centre of “The Stone” it is 6.5 meters in bearing 329 degrees.
