The Pfaffenstieg is an old forest village. The name comes from the fact that the "priest" was allowed to hunt for fish and birds. He did this with bird traps. With this, Krammetsbirds (five different types of thrushes) could be caught. At the beginning of the 20th century, bird making was forbidden by law.
