The name of the mountain goes back to the operation of bird trappers who set up their nets in the vicinity of the mountain to catch goldfinches . The old connecting path between the villages of Niederhäslich and Obernaundorf goes over the mountain, where at the fork in the path to the Poisenwald there is a sandstone path pillar from the end of the 19th century at 240.9 m above sea level. NHN stands, on the same path at the upper exit of the forest there is a community boundary stone from 1886. In 1877 there was still a dense forest on the mountain. In the 20th century, the forest was cleared and fields created, the former Niederhäslicher fields on the mountain were converted into pastures after 1960 and were later partly planted as a mixed forest.
