Hiking
One of the most important branches of industry in Burg, from which leather and shoe production later developed, was tanning. Tanning is the long-term preservation process of the animal skin with tanning agents such as oak or spruce bark, which makes the leather soft and resistant to decay. The swelling of the fibers from wet leather is prevented and the temperature resistance is significantly increased.
