Siebertův mlýn Water mill
Siebert Water Mill in Roštín is a historic building situated on the Roštín River, whose existence has been documented since 1381. This monument is important for its long historical duration and gradual technological development, which includes reconstruction in the 18th century as well as modernization of electric power in 1936.
The oldest beginnings of the mill were preserved little, but the first historical mention of it dates back to 1381. In the 18th century, the building was rebuilt. In 1930, the mill also mentioned the operation of the saw, but the mill ceased to exist in later years.
It is an architectural building that includes a residential part. The building is covered with a halibut roof with a burnt cover. The mill building was originally adjacent to the economic building on the ground plan L. Today, only part of the brick masonry is preserved from this system, which is covered with a burnt bag and has wooden shields.
From the point of view of technical equipment the mill was previously equipped with a water wheel for the upper water. The water was brought to him by a drive from a wooden lake in Olšinka, which was approximately 300 meters above the mill. A wooden trough of 25 cm from a smaller water tank built northwest of the object led to the mill. This round had a diameter of 422 cm, a width of 82 cm and a power output of 3 kW at a drop of 5.7 meters. One milling stool was preserved from the then milling plant from 1936 for scrapping and the water wheel shaft was preserved.
In 1936 there was a fundamental change in operation when the mill was modernized and rebuilt to electric power. From 1958 to 1987 the building was protected as a real-estate cultural monument of the Czech Republic.
Siebertův mlýn is a valuable witness to the history of water management in this area. For visitors an interesting view of technical history and gradual development from traditional water propulsion to more modern solutions.

The whole circuit is short and suitable for hiking without the need for long movements. Emphasis is placed on the link of human activity with the natural environment, with each point of the route logically linked to the previous.

This composition ensures a smooth transition from technical history to natural environment without leaving the site.
Seasonal recommendations
Spring brings to the surroundings of Siebert's mill the awakening nature, when the trees around the watercourses are covered with fresh greenery and the air is saturated with moisture. The lighting is soft and diffuse during this period, which creates a calm atmosphere suitable for walking without rush. Practically a spring visit is ideal for those who want to avoid summer crowds, although temperatures can be variable. It is recommended to dress in layers in order to be easily adapted to sudden changes in weather, and to carry a light waterproof jacket. The best time to visit is late afternoon hours when the light is the hottest and the roads are less crowded.
Summer offers the longest days and full sun, which emphasizes architectural details of the mill and surrounding vegetation. The atmosphere is more lively, often accompanied by sounds of birds and noise of water, creating a relaxed environment for family trips. Since this is the main tourist season, it is necessary to proceed to the visit sufficiently in advance. It is recommended to come early in the morning to avoid the greatest tips and heat, and to have enough drinking regime and sun protection. Clothes should be light and ventilated, although evening temperatures may drop, so it's not too bad to have a thinner sweater.
Autumn turns the surroundings of the monument into golden and red shades, creating a picturesque and romantic scene. The lighting is lower and warmer, which gives the historical building a more intimate character. Nature around the mill is in full bloom of colors, which is ideal for photographic images. Practically the autumn season is less crowded than the summer, which allows for a quieter tour. It is recommended to dress in warmer layers because the wounds and evenings are cold, and to carry firm shoes, because wet leaves can be slippery. The best time to visit is in the morning, when the air is fresh and light still clear enough for orientation.
Winter covers Siebertův mlýn with quiet and calm, often with a white snow veil that contrasts with dark facades of buildings. The lighting is short and cold, which creates a dramatic and perhaps a little melancholy atmosphere. Nature is in sleep mode, which allows you to focus purely on the historical value of the monument. Practically the winter visit is less popular, so you can look forward to almost empty spaces. However, it is necessary to prepare for extreme cold, therefore warm clothes, gloves and hats are necessary.
