Hiking

In the past, charcoal and useful by-products (including pine oil) were obtained here from inferior branch wood, which could then be used for leather production or pharmaceutical production. With the end of charcoal burning, this also ended.

Hiking

In earlier times, an ointment oven was used to obtain cart ointments and creosote. The resinous logs were heated so much that the resin ran out and could then be further processed into tar water, pine oil, car grease, wood tar and pitch. Up until the 19th century there were a number of such ointment ovens in the surrounding woods.

In winter, when it is not so overgrown, you can see into the oven. Otherwise, you wouldn't notice that it is an oven if the sign didn't describe it.
