The bunkers or storage facilities for the finished ammunition and explosives were approximately 700m away from the actual place of manufacture.
In the forest you can find some, partially destroyed, structures of the Kambachsmühle ammunition facility.
If they were initially used for explosives in potash mining, they may have been used for ammunition during World War II. This was all kept top secret and even the residents of Kambach didn't know exactly what was hidden there.
The deposits consist of an approximately 5-7m high ring wall with 2 entrances made of concrete and are open at the top.
After the end of World War II, the Americans ordered the production facilities to be blown up.
