These are abandoned explosives bunkers from the Cold War era. Each one could contain up to 5 tons of explosives, secured behind 3 to 4 armored doors. These depots were not guarded but were checked regularly. The military strategy at the time was to delay the advance of an invading enemy as effectively as possible. The most common barriers were blast shafts, which were set into strategically important roads and bridges during construction. The initially empty shafts could be filled with explosives from such depot bunkers, which were always located nearby, in a very short time. This meant that the road or bridge could be blown up and made impassable "if necessary". Up until the 1990s, there were around 6,000 barriers prepared in this way throughout West Germany. Since then, these barriers have been abandoned and in many places have already been dismantled.

Easily accessible by bike, nice quiet ride, unfortunately all closed

Build huts, light fires, gallop through the forest as a unicorn, go on an expedition as a dinosaur researcher or simply lie in the clover and watch the clouds... Does your child like being outside in wind and weather? Then you're in good hands here at the Wichtel Nature Kindergarten, because "there are things in the woods that you could lie in the moss for years to think about." (Franz Kafka) More information can be found here: https://www.wichtel-ev.de/

There are 30 prehistoric burial mounds in the Schönberger Forest. This unusual concentration is due to the location in the forest, because on arable land most of the mounds would certainly have been destroyed by the plough. The height of the mounds is 0.20 to 7.35 m, their diameter varies between 13 and 43 m. They are mainly located on natural hilltops. 17 mounds are intact, the others have old excavation holes. Today the group of burial mounds is a listed monument.

Directly at the parking lot there is this information board about the Bronze Age burial mounds, which are located nearby.

The free, signposted parking lot on Alte Poststrasse is a good starting point for tours in the area.

In the Schönberger Forest, five relatively well-camouflaged bunkers stand right by the roadside, bearing witness to the Cold War. These bunkers mostly serve as bat roosts these days, but they are all locked and appear to be unoccupied.
