Originally there were more than 20 mills spread out along the Kaninger Rossbach . They were used by the local mountain farmers to grind the grain. In 1976, some people from Kaning decided to renovate six partially dilapidated flood mills and thus make them accessible to the public. The official opening took place in 1991. Since then, the ARGE Mühlenweg association has been responsible for the maintenance and development of the hiking trail.

The association currently has twelve members and will celebrate its 40th anniversary in 2019. The chairman, Karl Stinig, is a farmer and mill owner.
