Stikhokken
Stikhokken i Hyrdeskov er en ca. 3 meter høj grenbunke, bunken
skulle have ligget her i flere hundrede år, sikkert er det at den
har ligget der siden 1906, det beretter en skovfoged, der var ansat
i skoven fra 1906 – 1945.
Stikhokken i Hyrdeskoven er sandsynligvis den sidste af sin slags i
Danmark.
Sagnet om stikhokken går på at engang i 1700-tallet, blev en
forhadt skovfoged myrdet af en krypskytte, på dette
sted.
Liget fik lov at blive liggende, fordi andre forbipasserende smed
grene over det.
Ifølge en version af sagnet huserede den afdødes genfærd på stedet,
og for at beskytte sig selv, skulle man smide en gren på bunken
hver gang man passerede den.
Forbipasserende kaster den dag i dag stadig en gren på bunken når
de går forbi, det forklare sikkert at bunken ikke bliver mindre, på
trods af den stille og roligt synker sammen.
Så husk at smide en stik på hokken.

Stikhokken in Hyrdeforest is a ca. 3 meters high branch pile, the
pile should have been there for hundreds of years, surely it has
been there since 1906, this reported a forester who was employed in
the forest from 1906 to 1945.
Stikhokken in Hyrdeforest is probably the last of its kind in
Denmark.
Legend of stikhokken goes to sometime in the 1700s, when a hated
forester was killed by a Poacher.
The body were allowed to stay because of others that were passing
threw branches over it.
According to one version of the legend, the ghost of the
deceased's was hounting the spot and to protect themselves, they
threw a branch on the pile each time they passed it.
Today people is still throwing branches on the pile when they are
passing, it probably explains that the pile does not become
smaller, despite it quietly sinks together.
So remember to throw a branch on the pile.
