    Hiking

    During WWII, the Germans built hangars here for the airport to be built. Before they could use it, the place was bombed flat by the Allies.

    Hiking

    During World War II, a German airfield was located here, which was frequently bombed. Street signs like "Startbaan" (Startway) and "Rolbaan" (Rollway) are reminders of that era. You'll also find a hangar, a freight railway, and numerous bomb craters here, some filled with water.
