Explanation:
home delivery?

You need to give us a bit more context than that!

Bringung, incidentally, is very poor German (the word doesn\'t exist in Muret Sanders or Google), Holz bringen or Holzlieferung would have been preferable.

I take it we are talking about delivery of logs, or am I barking up the wrong tree???

hope it helps anyway

I found quite a few google hits for Holzbringung (mainly Austrian), also Holzbringungsanlagen, which leads me to the conclusion that my first answer must be wrong. I think the text must be talking about \'Holz (klein) machen\', eg. chopping trees up to turn them into logs. In English, I would say LOG MAKING, LOG SUPPLY or simply LOGGING.

Thanks Nicole, and thanks to all who tried to explain this, it seems, typically Austrian term.

agree  Steffen Walter: Strange as it sounds, Bringung might be a peculiar term confined to Austrian usage.

agree  Norbert Hermann: Nicole is of course right - 'logging' alone should be ok if it fits in the context and can not be confused.

another take on this rather bizarre term...

neutral  Norbert Hermann: sorry this is not the case here - the 'bizarre term' relates specifically to the 'difficult' task of removing logs from the forest - als Waldheimatbua bin ich damit vertraut :-)

logging


Explanation:
In Ernst En-De you find logging translated as Bringen des Holzes

Bringung also implies \'shifting\' the logs away from the logging area. The above site gives a description.

I think \'log removal\' would cover it.

agree  Nicole Tata: quite right but I already added that to my answer earlier

  -> sorry - thought you were talking about chopping down / log making rather than the 'moving' of logs

agree  Norbert Hermann: abtransport is meant here - taking the logs out of the forest (confined space) with special equipment or horses
