The Schiessplatzheide has an eventful history.
Natural Lech heaths developed on gravel banks that were heaped up by the Lech or, secondarily, from grazed snow heath pine forests.
The development here was quite different: the former waid area was cleared in 1880 to create a shooting range. Rare alpine, continental and sub-Mediterranean animal and plant species have been able to settle on the now free area. The shooting range has not been used by the military since around 1980 and is now a "case for nature conservation".
