    Once upon a time there was the Munitionsdepot Rheinbach during World War II. Today you can only see a few remains of the former bunker complex! Interesting is the model of a 5-centner explosive bomb, which gives you an idea of ​​what weapons the Allies used to destroy the plant and much of the forest.

                During the Second World War, there was a Wehrmacht ammunition depot in the middle of the forest, which was subjected to heavy attacks by the Allies.
