The approximately 225 hectare Brander Wald nature reserve is located in the area of the city of Aachen, between Aachen-Brand and Stolberg. It is also part of a Bundeswehr training area.

Entering during practice times is prohibited; outside practice times, you do so at your own risk, although leaving the paved paths is prohibited. Dogs are allowed on a leash.

There are 4 tank wrecks on the entire area of the Buschmühle military training area. Probably three M47 Patton tanks and an M41 Walker Bulldog.

These tank wrecks are so-called hard targets, which are still used today by the Bundeswehr, THW, DRK and fire brigade for training purposes.

During the week, no civilians are allowed to enter the area between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m., i.e. during official training times. In addition, entry is prohibited even if red flags are raised.

The landscape with the fields and forests are just great for nature lovers. The tanks that are still there are really great and not only interesting for adults, children will also have a lot of fun here.
