Hiking

Experience history up close. The legacies of the Second World War, more precisely the Xanten air munitions facility, are still clearly visible here.

Those interested in history can find further information on Wikipedia, for example: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luftmunitionsanstalt_Xanten

The Luftwaffenmunitionsanstalt 2 / VI (short Muna: Appendix 2 in Luftgau VI in Münster) is located south of the city of Xanten on the heights of the Hees, a forested foothills of a terminal moraine of the penultimate cold period. Construction began in 1938 and was operated until 1944. Large parts of the buildings and facilities are still preserved as ruins in the forest today.

Very nice round with many bunkers, all have unfortunately been poured, but still they have their certain charm.
