Hiking
A rabat, what's that? I bet you've seen rabats during a forest walk? That alternation of ditches and raised areas that become more visible the drier the ditches are? These raised areas or embankments are rabatten. And they were used in the past - and still are - to create dry patches of land in forestry to plant trees.
What does that have to do with this area? Well, there's an information board about a rabatten forest here, and the method was used quite extensively.
