The Drevicek wattermill is only functioning mill re-opened in the Hradec Králové Region.

The roller mill was equipped in 1925-1939. A francis turbine serves to power all of the equipment. Transfers via pulleys and leather belts.
The Drevicek wattermill serves as museum now.

==================================================

Mlýn v Horním Drevíci se nachází na spojnici Hronova a Stárkova. Návvštevníci se zde mohou podívat, jak se ze žita a pšenice mlela mouka v první polovine 20. století. Ve mlýne se nachází kompletní mlýnské zarízení, jež bylo plne funkcní v dobe pred rokem 1940. Návštevníci mlýna se tak seznámí s postupem mletí zrna od príjmu obilí od sedláku až po výdej mouky. Dozví se, k cemu slouží kapsové výtahy, mlecí stolice, loupacka, reforma a další technika.
