Unfortunately, the vending machine is currently out of service. I was there today and wanted something to drink, but unfortunately, it didn't turn up. The rest is great.

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.

Historical documents show that the forest is Hegenest Würzburgisch (bishop).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