GR translation: set on a low hill for the wind

[Robert Mahnke]

That’s how I understand it. 

See, e.g., https://extension.usu.edu/forestry/publications/utah-forest-facts/005-windbreak-benefits-and-design
Orientation
Windbreaks should be oriented at right angles to the prevailing wind direction to protect the greatest land area. Remember that prevailing wind directions may vary between summer and winter. Use multiple-leg windbreaks in areas with variable-direction winds to give the most protection. In hilly areas, locate windbreaks just upwind of the hill crest for greatest benefit. Placing a windbreak on the crest will result in a small protected area because of extreme low pressure and turbulence created on the downwind and downhill side.
