    Tips

    In the Wiedenofen, weak fir and spruce trunks were made supple by heat and then processed into Wieden ("ropes") by various means. These weaves were used in rafting to tie the trunks together into rafts.

    Translated by Google •

      The rafts were not 'built', they were 'tied', with the logs held together by so-called cradles. These were thin spruce, hazelnut or willow trunks. Workers heat them in the kiln so that the wood sap begins to boil. Then they turned the wood into a ring. This gave the raftsmen a very elastic and tear-resistant wooden rope. The ropes were threaded through holes drilled in the raft's outer rows of logs. Later the rafts were then nailed and stabilized with cross logs.
