The art project for the Mühlbach has grown up!

Some are already calling it a "megaproject" and attaching attributes to it such as "grandiose, top-class, unique, inspiring, demanding, incredibly diverse, touching".
We are pleased that our efforts have met with a positive response all round.
In the midst of the final rush to the event at Schützenpark, an update.

Finally some additional info

 

Save the millstream

The Citizens' Initiative Save the millstream has been campaigning for the preservation of the Mühlbach since 2016. The facts are on the page of the citizens' initiative Save the Mühlbach in Hermagor documented.

Rettet den Mühlbach Logo

There's a Online petition this citizens' initiative with the wish to restore the Hermagorer Mühlbach and to preserve this jewel for future generations.

According to our current information (June 2021), a concrete solution is currently being worked on at the level of officials (state and municipality). The Mühlbach should run again, the state and the municipality are sure about that. So basically it is only a question of if and how, but when for our beloved Mühlbach.

However, it is still very important to set an example. The more citizen interest is documented, the more participation and co-design becomes possible.

A piece of music for the Mühlbach

Numerous poems and several pieces of music have been dedicated to the Hermagor Mühlbach in the past weeks and months. Here is one of them.

"Merrily we sail through the night (K.N. 12)", a musical gift to the millstream from MIHA (concert guitarist from the upper Gailltal), to be found here: MIHA's message to the millstream

(whereby you get to MIHA's messages page and jump right back to this portal, like hopping from one stone to another 😉 Isn't intentional, turned out that way for technical reasons).
