    Hiking

    The development on the Schiessplatzheide ran very differently: the former forest area was cleared in 1880 to create a shooting range. Rare alpine, continental and sub-Mediterranean animal and plant species were able to settle on the now free area. Due to the military use, initially as a parade ground, the area was kept free again and again. After the Second World War, the firing range was used by American troops for target practice. The shooting range has not been used by the military since around 1980 and is now a "case for nature conservation".
