    There is hardly a place in the Wahner Heide, from which you can watch as comfortable and guaranteed so much life up close.

    One of the two former armored washing facilities in the heath of Camp Altenrath. Today a protected area, as in the water basin rare species are native.

    The former Panzerwaschanlage belonged to the former Kaserne Altenrath. In September 2011, the Belgian forces were withdrawn from the then opposite Camp Major Legrand. Since then, the camp has been completely renatured.
    On maneuvers in the Wahner Heide, the tanks were heavily polluted and were cleaned here like on a kind of vibrating plate of coarse mud. It is interesting that in the catch basin next to it small biotopes have formed. Dragonflies, snails, grass snakes, frogs, etc. have found a hayfoot here. In 2012 a nest box for birds and bats was erected next to this relic.
