Here it is shown how pitching (resin extraction from black pines) has been carried out for a long, long time. An information board provides the explanation and behind it you can see the whole thing practically. You can buy a pitch ointment in the National Park shop.

This station in the Hohe Wand Nature Park commemorates the traditional pitch-making, where resin was extracted from pine trees. The traces of this formerly important forest use make the place an interesting cultural-historical stopover along the hiking route. A beautiful example of how closely the natural space and traditional management were linked here.

Pecherei is the common expression in southern Lower Austria for the extraction of resin from black pines. Pecherei is used to obtain tree resin, also known as "pitch", which is then processed into a number of chemical products. The one who practices bad luck is called the bad luck.
