This area impressively shows the formerly widespread forest management form of the "coppice forest". It was typical of a farm forest. Above all, hazelnut bushes and oaks, more rarely beeches, were repeatedly "put on the stick". To do this, the branches/trunks were cut off and mostly used as firewood. The tree sprouted many new branches from the stump.

I recommend not walking on the wide forest path from the sewage treatment plant, there is a narrow path to the left of the path that goes directly along the stream, it is much more beautiful in nature, but caution is advised, there are steep, sloping and Slippery passages and you also have to climb under or over fallen trees, which is what makes this path so interesting.
