oxcart

Examples from the Internet (not verified by PONS Editors)

Between the vast fields and meadows extending toward the horizon, these rows of trees are a unique aesthetic highlight at any time of the year, but these natural beauties, which are up to 250 years old, were actually originally planted to help travelers orient themselves as well as to reinforce sandy or cobblestone roads.

They provided shade and protection from wind, rain and snow to people traveling on foot, in oxcarts or in horse-drawn carriages.

Dabei dienten die bis zu 250 Jahre alten Bäume links und rechts der Fahrwege ursprünglich weniger der Erbauung als vielmehr der Orientierung sowie der Befestigung von Sandwegen und Kopfsteinpflasterstraßen.

Zudem schützten sie die einst vor allem zu Fuß, mit Ochsenkarren oder Pferdekutschen umherziehenden Menschen vor direkter Sonneneinstrahlung, vor Wind, Regen und Schnee.
