Hiking
The forest floor has now swallowed all the walls. A few hewn stones remain there.
But you can still see the depression in the terrain. The old run, or the place where the door must have been, is clearly visible.
Until the 19th century, domestic pigs were driven into the forests for so-called "acorn fattening." This is probably where the saying "The best hams grow on oak trees" comes from.
