Through grazing and the selection that goes with it
particularly high-yielding trees for livestock
usable fruits such as acorns, beechnuts,
Crab apples or hazelnuts,
originated in Central Europe since the Neolithic Age
until the Middle Ages sparse, undergrowth forests,
characterized by deeply branched hat trees
were. Parts of the Junkernwald, as well as the whole
Burgwalds, were used for forest pasture.
The herds of cattle from the surrounding villages
all from Schönstadt were driven in here.
The assignment of the domestic herds with theirs
Shepherds to certain forest locations was after old
Origin largely fixed. For the
strange "hired pigs", which are often very
had to be driven long distances
"Fattening money" is paid - a good source of income
for the landlords. To be sustainable
To ensure management, the
Areas allocated locally and drifts delimited.
At this point there was such a trick.

Here you can find out more about a hut forest. A forest used as forest pasture. An imposing oak stands here.

There are two really impressive oak trees here. There is an oak tree right on the side of the path so you can stand next to it and have your photo taken. Then the proportions really become clear...
