The rafting profession has now died out, but it used to be a common activity in wooded areas. The main part of the task consisted of driving the felled trees down the rivers in a controlled manner, individually or in bundles, until they reached their destination. In this way, countless tree trunks were transported from Schiltach down the Kinzig into the Rhine, where they were forwarded to the North Sea and processed into ships, for example. The raft exhibited here is a reminder of the time when heavy transports were still carried out in harmony with nature.
