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...
