Attention: The raw floors ("Bunker Lake") are no longer accessible! (Biotope protection) A so-called "new path" (signposted in the same way) has been created around the biotope with good viewing and seating options. Fair offer!

Depending on the water level, new perspectives are always available here. There are birdhouses near the bench where different species of tit can be observed.

The development on the Schiessplatzheide ran very differently: the former forest area was cleared in 1880 to create a shooting range. Rare alpine, continental and sub-Mediterranean animal and plant species were able to settle on the now free area. Due to the military use, initially as a parade ground, the area was kept free again and again. After the Second World War, the firing range was used by American troops for target practice. The shooting range has not been used by the military since around 1980 and is now a "case for nature conservation".
