It is a bit strange when you walk through the nature reserve Sandtrockenrasen Achim and suddenly discover this bunker that seems to be enthroned above everything.
The bunker is a holdover from the time when the Borgward company tested the driving characteristics of their military vehicles in this area. A creepy idea.
