Old Haunts secret?

[MoJumboJuice]

First of all, I never had a chance to play the original Drachenfels in Vermintide 1 so I may not be the most well informed. But I was wandering around the hillside town before we advance near the castle itself and I found a little waterfall and river running off of it. Looking around it I found a lever I could interact with. After I did it looked like a small dam lowered into the river and after a moment I heard a chime, like the ones you hear when you fulfill one of the secret challenges in the other maps.

Does anyone know what this is for/hinting at?

It's a grimoire!
When you pull the lever, you block the water flow after a while. Follow it and you'll find the waterwheel, which is now stopped! If you drop down to the water wheel's level, you'll find a door across the water wheel which is now open, and a grimoire waiting inside!

Oh very cool, thank you! I don't usually care too much about finding the books on my own, but I greatly appreciate you hiding the rest of the steps.

BTW this map was not part of the original Drachenfels area, at least not this layout, not sure about the supposed location.
As they said on stream, they changed Drachenfels a lot, but lets hope the castle itself is still as amazing as it used to be. Old Haunts definitely seems great.

I found all book locations in the new map. Just for your orientation in case you're looking for more books:

1st grim and 1st tome in village
2nd tome on the way to cow camp
2nd grim and 3rd tome in cow camp

I've found everything except one tome in the village on my own. I just can't find it.
Can someone give me a hint please?

Yeah that one is a bit tricky. Tome location is

in the right lower part near the stairway's beginning on a balcony. Easy jumping puzzle, but it takes a bit to find it.

There's also one door that has a latch on it, with some items inside, and another that is barred from the inside with a latch , I haven't been able to figure that one out, there doesn't seem to be an entrance leading into it from anywhere, both in the village.

Do you mean the ones next to the fenced in pigs when you climb the stairs? You can get there with Sienna but last I checked there was nothing noteworthy.

It's a bit tricky to get the first tome at the beginning because the collision query before you jump at the first obstacle needs a revision.
