The sideline pigs wallowed here at the end of the gorge before the swineherd drove them back to the village in the evening.

Pig cheek

At the beginning of the last century, the town of Labach was popularly known as a mining village. Half of all employees worked in the mining industry to earn extra income, while a number of families worked as a sideline in agriculture. Goats, pigs, chickens, ducks and rabbits were kept as farm animals in many families. Every morning the local swineherd collected the pigs and drove them to the pig's neck where the animals stayed during the day. In the evening the shepherd brought the pigs home again in the herd. Since the pigs wallowed regularly here at the end of the gorge, this place was soon given the name "Schweinskaul". The “Schweinskaul” in the Labach district is located 100 meters from Hoxbergstrasse in Reisbach. Source: Text information board
