The Sterbecker Tal, easy to reach from Rummenol.
Buildings that are left to decay lie on the beautiful stream of the Sterbecke. Further up at the Kaltenborn Bach until just before the A45 you will find other buildings and bunkers from days gone by.
From about 1903 to 1932 there was an explosives factory with up to 2000 employees on the entire site.
Today a ghost town in a beautiful valley.

This section contains some of the last ruins of the old explosives factory, for example. Ruins of the Chlorat sieve house, various security entrances to the Mengbuden, warehouse for collodion wool, blown dry house ....

A great lost place in the middle of the forest.
You can't really get into the old buildings because most of them collapsed, but it's definitely an interesting place
