Beskrivning
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 svarthakad buskskvätta and trädlärka. It has a fairly good population of nattskärra, which can be seen and heard in especially late spring. Other species that can be found on these heathland areas are gulsparv, trädpiplärka and sometimes buskskvätta. Some parts of the depot are especially good for Varfågel in winter.
The (mainly) pine forests are an ideal breeding habitat for many species of common songbird, like rödstjärt, trädgårdsträdkrypare and lövsångare. Other breeding species are tofsmes, svartmes , entita and talltita. Many woodpeckers can be found in the area and all five species are present: större hackspett, mellanspett, mindre hackspett, Gröngöling and spillkråka. In the evening, courtship flights of morkulla 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 kungsfågel and brandkronad kungsfågel can be present.
Predatory birds can often be seen flying over the area, like the common ormvråk and tornfalk, but also scarcer species like Bivråk and röd glada. Small numbers of korp can also be seen flying low above the forests.

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.
