    After the end of World War II, duds were initially blown up here by the British army. Since forest fires often broke out, it was converted into an ammunition depot in 1948. It has been the largest ammunition depot in Europe. in the 1970s a large forest fire threatened the site. In 1996 the depot was given up. Today it is an NSG.
    Cattle, sheep and Koniks (mistakenly referred to as wild horses by many) are kept here to care for the NSG. Fallow deer are also often seen here.

    The ammunition depot was supplied by the Kaldenkirchen - Brüggen West narrow-gauge railway. The photo shows the entrance of the train to the depot.
