    Hiking

    Not just any old jug, but a Bartmann or Bartmannstein, and with a height of 2.39 m, it is supposedly the largest Bartmann jug in the world.

    -------------------------------

    Wikipedia says the following about Bartmann jugs:

    "A Bartmann jug is a bulbous, brown glazed clay vessel with the eponymous relief of a bearded, male face on the neck."

    "Bartmann jugs were produced in large numbers from the 16th to the 18th century, including in Frechen near Cologne, and are usually made of Rhenish stoneware."
