When it came to the nature and the forest in the district was
Gustav Zahn (1935 - 2018) on the spot.
Whether it's a forest trail, bird species or just the flora and fauna of the area, he was at the forefront
Siegfried Beckschebe (1938 - 2018), with whom he also rebuilt the "Dachsenfranz Cave".
The new hut is due to him, because the old "Kälberer Hütte", built in 1932, was no longer usable and was demolished due to weather conditions and fungal attack of the wood.

Dachsenfranz Cave
Highlight • Cave
After a later understanding of a homeless man who lived in self-dug earth caves and shelters, he was in the region as traps and pest controllers in farms and mills, which he freed from rat and mouse plagues.
After the outbreak of the First World War, he disappeared.
The history of the Dachsenfranz is part of the regional folklore of the Kraichgau. For example, a beer brand of the brewery "Adler Bräu" was named after him, meanwhile the brewery was renamed Dachsenfranz Biermanufaktur GmbH & Co KG. In Zuzenhausen the "Dachsenfranzfest" took place every two years until 2016, a folk festival with a historical character.
