April 29, 2025,D-89150 Feldstetten-ehem. Truppenübungsplatz Münsingen-Gänswag-Altes Lager-Gruorn-Aussichtsturm Hursch-Aussichtstrum Waldgreut

Today I first drove to the beach in Feldstetten to start my tour of the former Münsingen military training area.

In 1895, a military training area was established in Münsingen in a large pasture landscape. The military training area was in operation until 2005, although of course it was not used for agriculture. So you drive through a landscape that …

May 18, 2025,MTB-Tour-Ehemaliger Truppenübungsplatz Münsingen

Eine Top Tour, auf dem Ehemaligen Truppenübungsplatz in Münsingen.
Der ehemalige Truppenübungsplatz Münsingen ist der Einzige, der in Deutschland für die Öffentlichkeit freigegeben ist und besichtigt werden kann. Er wurde von Siedlungen, Straßenbau, Flubereinigung und intensiver wirtschaftliche Nutzung weitgehend verschont. Stets durch Schafe beweidet, konnte hier eine parkartige Weidelandschaft erhalten werden, wie sie im 19. Jahrhundert auf der Alb üblich …

November 12, 2023,Hier hat’s mal geknallt… (Radtour über den ehemaligen Truppenübungsplatz)

In cold, wet weather we drove the great lap around the former military training area near Münsingen. Good signage, good paths and roads. The two observation towers can be climbed, unfortunately with little visibility today!
Traces of the site's former purpose can still be seen everywhere. Great landscape here in the biosphere reserve! Absolutely recommended 👍
