I really wanted to see those beer-giving sticks, and found that the magic google word for more pictures is 'Wanderschaft': http://www.google.com/images?q=Wanderschaft

Sorry, but "Wanderschaft" is a rather old fashioned word for hiking. It is the noun version of the verb "Wandern" (to hike).

The stick is called "Wanderstab" or "Stenz".

"Wanderschaft" is the German noun used especially for the carpenters journey.

Actually, it is not `the' noun version, but `one' noun version. The more common contemporary known is Wanderung.
