This area belonged to the former Vogelsang military training area from 1946 to 2005. The training area was set up in 1946 by the British armed forces, from 1950 it was under Belgian administration and was used by the Belgian military and other NATO troops until December 31, 2005. The site has been part of the Eifel National Park since the beginning of 2006.
Attention! For safety reasons, it is strictly forbidden to leave the marked paths, because off these paths there is a risk of death from ordnance or duds.

Here you have a great view of the forests of the Eifel. You can only move on the prescribed paths because it is an old military area.
