"Das Wandern ist des Muellers Lust" ("To wander is the miller's delight") is the first line of a poem by Wilhelm Mueller, written in 1821 with the title "Wanderschaft" as part of a collection, Die schoene Muellerin. While wandern is defined as "hiking" today, it referred to the required journeyman years of craftsmen when written, in this case of a miller.

The poem was set to music often, notably by Franz Schubert in 1823 titled "Das Wandern", as part of his song cycle Die sch;ne Muellerin, and by Carl Friedrich Z;llner, who wrote a four-part setting in 1844. With his melody, the poem became a popular German Wanderlied and Volkslied.
