Tips
Until the 1950s, the forest here was used as natural pasture for livestock. However, it was not cleared for this purpose, but was left to exist as a virgin forest.
Today, wild horses ensure that plants that are not useful for the forest quickly disappear.translated by

Until around 1950, the forest was still used in its historical form as a hut forest.
