    A beautiful place to relax and hike.
    In the past, cattle grazed here and fed on the fruits of the forest.

      As everywhere in "Franconian" there was also a so-called hutanger on pasture cattle was looked after by an employed shepherd. For a long time, until the 1960s, barn feeding was not common for cows and pigs.

        Almost every village has one or more oak groves with now very old trees that were once used as a municipal pasture. Here is a very nice grove.

          The Hutanger is a term typical of the Nuremberg region and the surrounding areas for old pastureland that was grazed by the cattle of a village community and used to be part of the common land. A village shepherd was specially employed by the community to look after and care for the animals. The Hutanger is thus a traditional Bavarian form of land use that today represents a historical and landscape-defining cultural landscape element.

          The term Hutanger is made up of the word Hut and the term Anger.

          Hut - comes from herding, protecting, herding animals - as in Hute (Hude), Hutung, Hutewald, Hutweide
          Anger - Old High German angar, West Germanic angraz means wild, unploughed grassland

          In the area of the Windsheim Bay and on the edge of the southern Steigerwald, the term (Hut-) Wasen is used. Hutung, Hute, Hude and Gemein are used as synonymous terms.

          In addition, the term Espan is commonly used in southern Germany for pastures near villages that were grazed by cattle without shepherds. Old field names bear witness to this historical form of land use
