    Mountain biking

    A relic of the Cold War, now a "Lost Place": at the beginning of the 1960s, NATO stationed in Blomberg a Hawk-equipped Dutch air defense unit. One of several permanently extended positions was here above Aerzen.
    To this day, the area is used for military purposes: the Bückeburg army pilots practice here helicopter out landings. The terrain is not accessible, holes in the fence are repeatedly secured with S-wire. However, if you bring some patience and the fencing runs, you will always find one or the other hole (entering is of course strictly prohibited).

    Nowhere a prohibition sign or danger warning! Curiosity wins. Large opening next to the gate. Small sightseeing tour. Met field-hunters have not stopped us, not once addressed us.
