Hiking

In Wiedenofen, weak fir and spruce logs were made pliable by heat and then processed into 'wieden' (ropes). These wieden were used in log driving to tie the logs together into rafts.

Hiking

The rafts were not 'built', they were 'tied', with the logs held together by so-called cradles. These were thin spruce, hazelnut or willow trunks. Workers heat them in the kiln so that the wood sap begins to boil. Then they turned the wood into a ring. This gave the raftsmen a very elastic and tear-resistant wooden rope. The ropes were threaded through holes drilled in the raft's outer rows of logs. Later the rafts were then nailed and stabilized with cross logs.
