In a German forest, 2 brothers keep the ancient tradition of charcoal burning alive

Brothers Immo and Sascha Feldmer operate a traditional charcoal-burning site near Hasselfelde in Germany's Harz forest, keeping alive an ancient craft passed down through their family. The brothers harvest wood, monitor the smoldering process, and produce charcoal using methods that have remained largely unchanged for centuries. Their work represents one of few remaining examples of this historic production technique in Germany.
