Not much is known about Othmar Blumer. But the founder of the Murg spinning mill must have been a courageous man: it took a great deal of pioneering spirit to build a factory in this difficult-to-access location, wedged between Lake Walen and the rocks. The operation of this factory was discontinued in 1996 after more than 160 <\/span>years – and new life was breathed into the site. <\/span>Because there are still pioneers in Murg today: the couple Esther and Dieter von Ziegler have transformed the old spinning mill into a hotel and habitable lofts with an iron will, a lot of passion and a vision. A place with over 175 years of history. <\/p>\n

Wood was processed at the Murgbach stream for several centuries. In 1937, the Murg spinning mill took over the sawmill. Not because the textile company wanted to diversify, no, the water rights on the site were the main reason, as they enabled the construction of a hydroelectric power station to drive the machines. Because a special servitude was encumbered on the site, wood continued to be processed on the site, albeit always at a loss. In 1963, after a legal dispute with the local municipality, wood processing was discontinued and the building was used as a warehouse. In the 1980s, Spinnerei Murg AG built a new hydroelectric power station on the site. The beautiful wooden building was used as a warehouse, but its basic structure was preserved. With the closure of the spinning mill in 1996 and the subsequent change of use, a solution also had to be found for the sawmill. <\/p>\n

This was found in 2002 in the form of the sagibeiz, a restaurant with a new terrace, which has since been expanded in various stages of investment. Today, the sagibeiz serves as the perfect location for wonderful events and seminars, romantic dinners and, with the sagisteg, as a starting point for water sports activities. <\/p>\n
