Cultural heritage - for visiting tourists who want to see the traditional way of flour production using the power of water.

The watermills were built by locals for their own households. The first mills were built around 1950. The mills were named after the name or nickname of those who built them. The locals are proud of the flour of their mill because it has a unique taste because the wheels moved by water grind slowly, unlikely the electrically operated wheels.
