Rabatts are elongated embankments located between ditches. The soil from the ditches is used to raise the rabat. It is not known exactly when forestry on rebates was first used, but the method was already mentioned in 1799.

The Hurkske has some cultural-historical value as an example of heathland reclamation forest and rabatten forest from the later 19th and early 20th centuries.
