Hupfmühle
The Hupfmühle stands in the wooded gorge on both sides of the Ditlbach to the nearby Wolfgangsee .
It was once built as a Gmach-Mühle (domestic private mill) and is already recorded as such in the land register of Mondsee Abbey in the 16th century. Since the 18th century it has had the name Ehe-Mühle in der Au in the documents , but is popularly called "Hupfmühle" after its owner Philip Hupf (1764–1771).
It is said to have also played a role with smugglers, as it was located near the border between the Archbishopric of Salzburg and Austria. However, only the mill justice (justice was formerly called today's trade licenses) can be proven, which only expired in 1884.
The St. Rupert pilgrimage route leads from St. Gilgen over the Falkenstein , past here, and then on towards Postalm . After about 2 hours of walking from St. Gilgen, it crosses the Ditlbach and leads directly past the Hupfmühle.
Since 1925 the mill has hosted a restaurant that was initially run as a snack bar. The Hutterer family has been running the Hupfmühle fish restaurant since 1958.
