Descrizione
Between 1948 - 1996 a British ammunition depot was situated on this location and stored about 50.000 tons of ammunition. The area is located on the western side of the city of Brüggen and has a total of six entrances. The depot is completely fenced to retain the population of wild animals, like Fallow Deer and Wild Boar. The area consists of a semi-open landscape of (mainly) pine forests and heathland areas and still contains the remnants of the old depot, like buildings, watchtowers and bunkers.
The heathland area contains scattered trees and bushes and is a very good location for typical heathland species, like Saltimpalo and Tottavilla. It has a fairly good population of Succiacapre, which can be seen and heard in especially late spring. Other species that can be found on these heathland areas are Zigolo giallo, Prispolone and sometimes Stiaccino. Some parts of the depot are especially good for Averla maggiore in winter.
The (mainly) pine forests are an ideal breeding habitat for many species of common songbird, like Codirosso, Rampichino comune and Luì grosso. Other breeding species are Cincia dal ciuffo, Cincia mora , Cincia bigia and Cincia alpestre. Many woodpeckers can be found in the area and all five species are present: Picchio rosso maggiore, Picchio rosso mezzano, Picchio rosso minore, Picchio verde and Picchio nero. In the evening, courtship flights of Beccaccia can be seen along the edges of the forest. In winter, the area is home to a variety of wintering birds, like large flocks of finches and tits. Within these flocks, smaller numbers of Regolo and Fiorrancino can be present.
Predatory birds can often be seen flying over the area, like the common Poiana and Gheppio, but also scarcer species like Falco pecchiaiolo and Nibbio reale. Small numbers of Corvo imperiale can also be seen flying low above the forests.

Accesso
The area is accessable on foot and by bike. The area has a total of six entrances and there are many tracks in the area, differing in length between several to about 20 kilometers. The best entrance to the park is shown on the map (see P) and can be reached by parking the car in the Netherlands and crossing the border. There are several other trails possible, but this map shows one of the many possibilities.
