history
A mill in the Kamnitzklamm was probably built at the time of the settlement of the Scharfenstein rule under the von Michelsbergs. It was created on the old Böhmerstrasse from Tetschen to Bautzen , which led from Kamnitzleiten through the gorge. The oldest written evidence of the manorial mill was made in 1515 when Nicholas III sold the Scharfenstein estate. Trčka from Lípa to Hans von Salhausen on Wehlen . Your mill rights included the farms of Hohenleipa and Kamnitzleiten and was later extended to the gardeners of Rosendorf . The use of the Kamnitz for the stately timber rafting business impaired the operation of the mill. Since 1545 there was a gardener in addition to the mill in the gorge. Under the Lords of Salhausen, the Grundmühle was attached to the Bensen Lordship in 1584 . When the Bensen rule was divided under the Clary-Aldringen family , the basic mill was transferred to the new rule of Binsdorf . In 1696 Johann Georg Reichsgraf von Clary-Aldringen sold the basic mill to the miller Johann Christoph Pohl. In 1727 the mill was rebuilt in Baroque style.
In 1743 the Binsdorf rulers regulated the reduction of the water supply to the saddle ditch during rafting times in a contract with the miller Pohl. Since Pohl was forced to stop the mill business, he was given the right to make spirits and to dispense Binsdorf beer as compensation. In 1787 the settlement consisted of four houses. In the 19th century, the production of Wagenschmiere started. In 1814 the buildings were expanded to include a distillery and a bakery. Five years later the mill was rebuilt and the bakery to the right of the mill was increased by a half-timbered floor. In 1834 Grundmühle had 24 inhabitants and consisted of three houses. The grinding mill and distillery belonged to the Binsdorf dominion, the Chaluppengütchen to the Kamnitz dominion . Because smuggling across the Bohemian-Saxon border had grown to a large extent, the mill was prepared again in 1845 and a stay for the Imperial and Royal Finance Guard was created.
After the abolition of patrimonial three houses from Grundmühle belonged to the municipality of Rosendorf and one to the municipality of Windisch Kamnitz in the district administration Tetschen / Děčín from 1850. With the formation of the Kamnitzleiten community, the three houses were connected to this community. Between 1877 and 1878 Ignaz Fiedler from Windisch Kamnitz ran a wild water canoe trip through the gorge between his house and the Grundmühle, which was well received by day trippers and nature lovers. After the Austrian heir to the throne, Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Este, during a visit to Edmund Moritz Fürst von Clary and Aldringen on April 4, 1881, the gorge was named Ferdinandsklamm in his honor . The boat trips to the Grundmühlen weir were subsequently resumed and the Grundmühle became one of the most popular excursion destinations in Bohemian Switzerland. In 1888 the Pohl family received the license to run a pub. In 1890 the mill and bakery were leased to Josef Wanitschek. After the mill owner Franz Pohl died in 1929, his daughter Marie Dinnebier inherited the mill. In 1931 the miller Franz Wilhelm Wirzam, who had leased the mill since 1929, went bankrupt. The mill was then leased to Josef Nickel, but he did not resume operations. There was another inn in the Chaluppengütchen until 1945. After the Germans were expelled from Czechoslovakia , the Dolský Mlýn settlement was abandoned in 1946 and fell into disrepair. The boat trip on the Ferdinandsklamm, which had been suspended since the outbreak of the Second World War, was not resumed.
The Grundmühle was the location of the 1952 Czechoslovak fairy tale film Pyšná princezna (The proud princess) . In 2008 the fairy tale film Ztracený princ was shot there.
Dolský Mlýn is now part of the Kamenická Stráň cadastre in the Růžová municipality . The citizens' initiative to save and secure the Dolský mlýn cultural monument has been carrying out construction work on the ruins since 2008.
Upstream in the gorge there is the royal spruce ( Královský smrk ). Here a reinforced concrete bridge leads over the Kamenice. The structure erected in 1902 was the first reinforced concrete bridge in Bohemia.
