Hiking
These stone benches were once used by porters to rest (16th to 19th centuries).
- At that time, heavy loads were transported across the countryside with back packs or baskets on the heads of farmhands, peddlers, etc.
- The raised structure allowed porters to pick up their goods independently after a rest.
- These "benches" can be found scattered throughout southern Germany; in the Ludwigsburg district alone, there are at least 30 well-preserved "Gruhen"
