In the 17th century, beechnut and other edible oils were produced in the former oil mill. The quarrystone building complex is located in the picturesque Tiefenbach valley. It consists of a residential building and a two-storey extension. A wooden cross from the first half of the 19th century stands in front of the house. Today, the former oil mill is privately owned.

Hiking trails no. 11, 16, 47, 51 lead past the oil mill, which can be viewed from the outside.

    Wikingerburg

    Nusbaum
    Open today

    It is neither a castle as we imagine it, nor does the building have anything to do with the Vikings: The meter-high rampart of fallen stones is the remains of a millennia-old fortification on the edge of the Ferschweiler plateau.
