The section of the path here is referred to as the "Püttschneise". The word

"Pütt" comes from Low German and means fountain. It used to

further south actually given a source by the inhabitants of the

area and served as a well, especially for their cattle. So

people drove their pigs, cattle,

sheep and horses there to drink. They ate each other in the surrounding forest

Animals fed up with acorns, beechnuts, wild herbs and tree shoots and prevented them

hence forest regeneration. Finally, the peasants also used

the foliage as bedding for their stalls, so that nutrients are constantly coming out of the

system were removed. In addition, every few years,

that is, the herb layer including the roots was removed with a hoe

and also transported to the cattle sheds as bedding. The source that the

Wells have long since been mined due to the quarrying of sand, gravel and clay

dried up.
