Charcoal burning is an ancient craft that is now – almost – extinct, but in the past it was a decisive factor in the industrialization of entire regions: the blast furnaces of the iron and steel industry, for example, depended on charcoal to reach the operating temperature required for ore smelting. As a result, however, whole areas were once completely deforested by charcoal burning and it is only thanks to later reforestation that forests have emerged again and nature can be seen.

Great path section: The path usually leads directly to a small "stream" along and is just really nice to walk!

The Köhlerweg itself goes even further, but then mostly on wider forest or forest roads. Also nice, but not so nice;)

A wonderful path with a lot of variety and also instructive through the fruit path. It's just a shame that after the pond it leads over some bridges into the forest and apparently ends there, or I've missed something somewhere ....?
