The Vorbach stream flows through Oberstetten. At the same time, the Reutalbach stream flows into the Vorbach stream in the village. For centuries, Oberstetten has been plagued by flood disasters because the water had limited space in the narrow valley. This is why flood retention basins were built in the Vorbach valley and the Reutalbach stream outside Oberstetten around 1980.

It is not clear whether this is a shelter or a former bunker. It is located somewhat inconspicuously on the edge of the path or forest and is probably used as a shelter from time to time.

Historical documents show that the forest is Hegenest Würzburgisch (bishop). Since many farms and villages in the area were sold to the Schäftersheim monastery, it can be assumed that the forest was also worked by the monastery. Between 1802 and 1810 Hohenlohe-Bartenstein had to cede some villages in Lower Alsace to France as a result of the Reichsdeputationsgesetz (see map). As a replacement, Hohenlohe-Bartenstein received, among other things, the Heftenwald (approx. 130ha) near Rinderfeld and the Hegnest (approx. 150ha), as well as approx. 15 villages in Hohenlohe. Attention: Hohenlohe-Jagstberg and Hohenlohe-Bartenstein belonged together around 1800. For financial reasons, Hohenlohe-Bartenstein sold the magazines to the state of Württemberg (1934) and Wald Hegenest (approx. 1980) to the Böblingen municipal works.

The Nonnenwald used to be called (from 1382) Flinswald. In 1339 the name Flinzwalde or Flinzwalt is mentioned. Flins comes from the Latin which means flint stone or stony. I.e. Flinswald means stony forest. At the south-east corner of the Nonnenwald (towards Schmalfelden) was a village called Flinshof. This farm belonged to the Schäftersheim monastery. In documents one also finds: Curie (Hof) Vlinsbach. The courtyard was probably created after 1253 as a monastery courtyard. During the Peasants' War of 1525, the farm went up in flames, along with nearby Künenweiler and Duttenhofen.

A very beautiful forest that appears untouched. You should have seen the beautiful lake and the Zwerenberg deserted area. Too bad that the paths are not optimally gravelled.

The Nonnenwald and the Nonnenwiesen (30 acres) south of the Nonnenwald belonged to the Kreuzfeld monastery. After many disputes between the Kreuzfeld monastery and the Schäftersheim monastery, the Kreuzfeld monastery was dissolved in 1253 and the goods were integrated into the Schäftersheim monastery. A large part of the Kreuzfeld nuns also went to Schäftersheim.

A very nice place in the middle of the nuns' forest. The large conifers, which are about 60 years old, are very beautiful. One finds coast redwoods and giant thujas. A few years ago there was an American tulip tree. But it came in. It was probably not suitable for the Schrozberg climate. I like it very much when the foresters occasionally try to make foreign trees native to Hohenlohe.
