The bunker was part of a former defensive belt of the former Ordensburg Vogelsang. After the war it was blown up. The concrete masses are impressive witnesses to a bygone era.

The blown up bunkers can be found on the Dedenbornerhöhe in the direction of Wollseifen.

Hey everyone 👋 Sometimes bats use old, blown-up bunkers as winter quarters 🦇. Please respect the animals' privacy and, above all, don't disturb their hibernation ❄️😴. If bats wake up too often during the cold season and deplete their energy reserves, they won't survive the winter. 😢
The most important "rules of the game" for protecting nature throughout the Eifel National Park: Stay on designated paths, don't light fires or make noise, keep dogs on a leash, and take your trash with you. Thank you for your understanding! 💚
