The whole mountain is hollowed out here ... The underground facility of the Bundeswehr in Neckarzimmern has an area of around 170,000 square meters. Around 193,000 different Bundeswehr articles are stored in this area. What is in the boxes is left to your own imagination. The Bundeswehr does not provide any more detailed information. The more than 40 kilometers of streets and paths of the UTA are so branched that it is impossible to find your way down here without a guide who knows the place or the proverbial thread of Ariadne. Calcite was originally mined here in the early 18th century.
