    It's crazy how people used to deal with deadly stuff.

      In the summer of 1945, Dresden farmers had to transport their remaining ammunition here from Klotzsche Air Base, now Klotzsche Airport, and were then blown up by the Red Army. The numerous explosive funnels tell of this.

        One of many information boards on the Weixdorferrund hiking trail.
        A bomb crater from 1945 can be seen here.

          Well, actually it's not a bomb crater but an explosion hole. At the end of the Second World War, all kinds of ammunition was blown up in the forest here.

            Educational trail sign 12, Bombing in the Dresden Heath in the Sauerbusch forest.

            Info:

            In the summer of 1945, the occupying forces detonated leftover German ammunition in the forest; several craters still bear witness to this.
