"Dunno... What would be the fun in a trap?" Albrecht pointed out, though he did not seem too sure of himself. "Sir Friedrich wants a good hunt, right?" The young woodsman squinted at the lone figure in the barge and swallowed hard. "But on th' other hand, what's that barge doing here, in the middle of nowhere? Last time there was a road 'round here was when my grandpa was my age, before they closed the copper mine."

I'm going to wait for the group to either reach a consensus or split up.

The copper mine Albrecht talks about was on the other side of the river, in the foothills of the World's Edge Mountains. It was closed some fifty years ago when the miners accidentally found the lair of a hungry troll while excavating. Four miners were killed and eaten on the spot and no one has entered the mine since.

Presumably, the barge's purpose was to carry the miners to the mine, since no bridge crosses the North Owl.
