Hiking

Lime burning is an old building trade that required appropriate knowledge. Limestone was piled up in the ovens and heated for days at temperatures around 1000 ° C and converted into quicklime. Quicklime was previously used to whitewash walls and make mortar.
Many volunteers repaired the old, half-ruined lime kiln in 2015/2016 with the help of some specialist companies.

Very nicely done, if you stand behind the stove you have a great view of the valley.

Hello Söhni, you really inspired me there. Today I was on the MTB between Diebach, Hammelburg and Obereschenbach and I remembered this field oven that you published here as a hiking highlight.
I am really grateful to you!
I've been here before and haven't seen the stove.
No wonder, he is really "just before the wall of boards", where things can no longer go on. At that time I had probably turned off shortly before.
Today I continued searching ..... and found! ;-)
Thank you!
