Birch forest in Wahner Heide

Highlight • Forest

The Planitzweg is free between Altenrather Straße and Pingenweg thanks to red marker posts, but is closed from the gate. "Because of location training ground" - honestly? Under the Belgian military you were allowed to go to the beautiful heath at the Scheuerbach at the weekend!
