Hiking

The charcoal kiln (Ranxo de sitges / Carbonera) was used to extract coal from holm oak. There are the remains of two charcoal burners and three charcoal burner huts in which the charcoal burners lived.

There is also a rest area in the shade of the trees with several benches and tables right next to the charcoal pile.

Hiking

Charcoal burning is an ancient craft that is almost extinct today, but in the past it was a decisive factor in the industrialization of entire regions: the blast furnaces of the iron and steel industry, for example, depended on charcoal to reach the operating temperature required for ore smelting. As a result, however, whole areas were once completely deforested by charcoal burning and it is only thanks to later reforestation that forests have emerged again and nature can be seen.
