There was probably a sign here on which the cattle troughs in the Hardtwald were described / explained. Unfortunately, this sign is no longer there.

The forest served as pasture for cattle until the 19th century. To soak this, draw wells were created in the Hardtwald. Ten such wells are shown on old forest maps. However, not only cows, as one might assume from the name, were driven into the forest to water, but also horses, pigs and sheep ...

In earlier years, the forest had two different meanings for the people of Reiling: on the one hand, it was an important supplier of firewood and construction wood; on the other hand, the forest was important for grazing cattle. Even today we find silent witnesses of this past in the Hardtwald. Old "Kuhbrunnen" whose exact age little is known.
