Hiking

In the 18th century there was still a deep moat here where the horses were cooled and cleaned after work.

Hiking

From around 1240, the facility served as a watering place where surface water collected over an impermeable layer. Farmers led their horses and draft animals there to cool them down, water them, and wash off adhering dirt after fieldwork. Today, from the horse watering place, mainly a deep ditch in the terrain can still be recognized, which is reminiscent of its historical use.

There aren't many facilities like this anymore, but it's nice if something like this is preserved for future generations
