In the picturesque Malá Skála Valley, you can see the log Vacardův Mill.

A saw mill in Sněhov has existed for at least three centuries, but the most important year was 1765. We know for a fact that the mill existed in that year because it was purchased by Václav Vacarda. His descendants owned the water mill until 1897 when it was sold to Josef Bouček from Bratříkov. The second half of the 19th century marked a decline in milling in the Sněhov area. In 1910, the owner, Vítezslav Bouček, decided to end the operation of the mill and the saw.
Currently, the mill has been restored to its original condition and is private held.
