The Water Mill Valley / Mlynska dolina - Roznov pod Radhostem, Czech Republic - Water Mills on Waymarking.com

[ENG] The Water Mill Valley is the youngest part of the museum. The actual construction of the entire set of buildings was preceded by the idea to document not only everyday life, but also technical skills and efforts to make purposeful use of everything nature has to offer. From this perspective, water current enjoyed an entirely unique position. In addition to its use in households, it was a very useful source of power for propelling simple or complex gears setting into motion the mechanisms of individual machines.
The placement of the Wool Mill, Water Mill and Saw Mill mirrors the layout in Velké Karlovice, Podtatý Valley, from which the buildings have been brought. The Oil Crusher from Brumov is an example of using human power to obtain necessary oil from the pits of fruits and seeds; the Smithy of Horní Lidec documents the skill of artful blacksmiths. However, the real pride of the entire Valley is the reconstructed Iron mill from Ostravice, the hammer and furnace of which are operated by a rapidly flowing stream of water. The operational facilities for the Iron mill are complemented by the Coach House building from Ostravice housing a permanent exposition entitled "Means of Transport in Wallachia" and a simple forester's hut from Trojanovice. The entire Iron mill set also features a little wooden bell tower from Dolní Becva. The area also features a so-called "living house" for presentations and educational events in an authentic environment.
The exposition of the Mill Valley is closely linked to the Wallachian Village. The purpose of the Mill Valley is to present living buildings with their equipment in operation so visitors can watch how felt is produced, corn is ground, planks are cut, oil is pressed, raw iron is forged and iron instruments are made.
