The Pioneer Training Pool 2 is the largest pit in the Wahner Heide. The pit was not created for military reasons. Exercises never took place. A civil engineering company operated gravel mining here. In the sixties, sand from the Rhine was removed here. Over the years, the pit became habitat for pines and birches.

Great corner for running 😊 here you can enjoy the peace and nature.
The resting pool is a beautiful retreat for wild animals and birds, especially ground-breeding animals

Pioneer Basin 2 was exploited in the 1960's and 1970's without a permit for commercial gravel mining. On the other hand, exercises by the pioneer units never took place here.
