Grafenmühle was located on the Franconian Alb in the Altmühltal between the Niederpappenheim district of Pappenheim and the Dietfurt district of Treuchtlingen . If you drive from Pappenheim on Bundesstraße 2 in the direction of Dietfurt, 500 meters after a sharp left bend, the area between the street and the Altmühl becomes wider; there was the mill, which no longer indicated any sign. In the following right-hand bend, you can see the spring-fed reservoir of the former mill on the right.
