Hiking

Death boards are a form of folk culture, an ancient custom that unfortunately only exists in the Bavarian Forest. In the past, the deceased were laid out on such boards for three days before their burial. Afterwards, the boards were placed in the ground at locations where the deceased had lived and worked.
