It's a bit of a strange taste, the horse skeleton for example. The fridge is getting old, but the drinks are all in bottles. In any case, a welcome change.

First aid, charging the battery and cold drinks are available - be sure to have change with you

If you want to go to Kirchberg, you have to climb steeply straight ahead. If you want to go to Gerabronn via Liebesdorf, drive over the bridge here.

Brunst used to mean mountain. I.e. Brunstwald is the mountain forest. Derived from the word "bryn" meaning hill. The word can be found in Welsh dictionaries. I.e. this word may have a Germanic or Celtic origin.

Historical documents show that the forest is Hegenest Würzburgisch (bishop).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.

Until 1830, the Braunst forest (formerly Brunst) was a private forest owned by the people of Oberstetten with 105 owners. In 1830 the state of Württemberg bought this forest. In the contract it says: There were many disputes about hunting justice, including poaching with Hohenlohe-Bartenstein, Rosenberg and Hatzfeld-Haltenbergstetten and Schrozberg. Each community law got 1100 fl. The building society made up 3,000 fl, from which each owner of community rights gets 40 trunks a 11.15m for building a house and 30 trunks for a shambles in money. Supposedly, some people from Oberstetten drank away the income from the sale of the forest.

The forestry hut there belonged to the former state tree nursery. The meadow that still exists was the forestry garden in which the plants were transplanted into the forest after 4 years of cultivation. Not only the sequoias are interesting, but also the two yew trees in between. Caution: everything about the yews is poisonous!

The giant sequoias were discovered in the USA in 1852. The nature-loving Wilhelm I is said to have been so enthusiastic about reports and travelers that in 1864, shortly before his death, he ordered seeds of the sequoia for US$ 90. The king had ordered a lot (15g) of seeds. The Americans translated the amount as "a lot". This corresponds to 470g. That weight was then seeds for 100,000 trees. About 8000 trees could be produced from the seeds. These were then schooled and distributed to all forestry offices in Württemberg. The trees in Braunst are likely to have come from a subsequent generation.
