Tips
You have to look closely to spot this military relic from the days of the military training area: two red and white painted steel masts are hidden behind trees. A steel cable was once stretched between the masts. Tin airplane models were pulled along this over the then treeless meadow, which was then fired at with infantry weapons, simulating an anti-aircraft battle. Of course, only practice ammunition was used here. This "blue" ammunition fires plastic projectiles with very little energy. Although it is now completely out of date, the Bundeswehr still practices this in exactly the same way today.
