    Land consolidation refers to the reallocation and amalgamation of fragmented agricultural and forestry property into larger and thus more effectively usable areas. Land consolidation also includes the creation of paths, roads and waterways as well as similar public facilities.

    In the opinion of critics, land consolidations also have negative effects: the emergence of monocultures, desertification of the landscape, erosion, loss of biodiversity through clearing of hedges, destruction of strips of field margins or channeling of brooks (alluvial forest) as well as the subsequent conventional land use.

    In addition to biological consequences, cultural losses often occur: the destruction of historical routes, the loss of small monuments (e.g. hall crosses or chapels, historical enclosures, etc.), the destruction of soil monuments or, in general, the loss of historical cultural landscapes, with overlaps on issues of nature conservation ( e.g. when clearing orchards, which represent a historical form of economy, but at the same time also have high ecological value).

      More a walk than a hike, but nice and leisurely. The highlights for me are of course the castle, the wooden figures and the beautiful landscape right next to the busy B50. A path for the whole family.

        These wooden sculptures, designed by wood artist Jonas Herrmann from Allenbach and crafted with a chainsaw, are a defining feature of this circular tour and depict important activities of certain professional groups in landscape development.

        The sculpture depicts a surveyor at work. Land consolidation, through the consolidation of smaller plots, made agriculture more efficient.
