The existing forest hut belonged to the former state tree nursery.
The remaining meadow was the forest garden in which the plants were transplanted into the forest after 4 years of cultivation.
Not only are the sequoias interesting, but also the two yews in between.
Warning: everything is poisonous to both the yew trees!

Around 1950 there was a state tree nursery here.
The district forester at the time was interested in new tree species.
This is the reason why you can see 6 giant coast redwoods here.
6 trees were also planted in Schrozberg.
Having such a huge tree in your own garden can be annoying.
More can be found in the surrounding woods.
The tree nursery was given up in the 1970s for economic reasons.

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.
