History:
The area originally served as a military shooting range since 1886, used by various armies, including those of the German Empire, the Nazi regime, the US Army and most recently the German Army. Military operations were only stopped in 1983 and nature began to reclaim the area.
•April 3, 2025
Hiking
The area was used as a shooting range for almost 100 years. Today, it is home to one of the largest contiguous recreational areas south of Augsburg.
Large parts are protected or are being rehabilitated to restore the floodplains and streams in the city forest.
