    Hiking

    On weekends you can stroll through a beautiful heathland, on weekdays the Bundeswehr, the police and the German Red Cross are on the move here for training purposes.
    As much as it appeals, the gravel paths must not be left! This is ensured by a volunteer "ranger" who also gives interesting information. According to him, there are birds here that operate between muzzle flashes and dog squadrons in the breeding grounds.

    Training area Schavener Heide may not be entered during the practice times Mon-Fri from 7 am to 5 pm. Beautiful heathland.

    Hiking

    It is important to note that this nature reserve cannot be entered at all times! (Bundeswehr training area!)

    -> But this is precisely why it looks very "original and untouched" (apart from the maneuver practice tracks).
