yumyum Says: The Herscheider Muehle is located outside the town of Herscheid on the way to Werdohl but still close to Herscheid. Mind you, you cannot walk there along the country road simply because there is no sidepath and I wouldn't recommend it either. You could take the bus to...

yumyum Says: If you really want to come by public transport, then you can take bus no. 54 from either Lüdenscheid or Plettenberg. To both of these towns you can take the train. But of course it's more convenient if a friend picks you up.
