The Story

This former U.S. Air Force munitions storage complex, which belonged to the 435th Munitions Squadron out of Ramstein Air Base, was a geographically separated area that was closed in 2007. It has layed dormant ever since. According to some sources, it once stored Mace missiles at the hight of the Cold War. It is officially off-limits and guarded by a chainlink fence and “do not enter” signs. Remember: always follow the signs!

Tips for your visit

This place is not accessible by car, so you have to find a way to get there on foot. It is a nice hike through the forest and there are plenty of trail heads with parking along the B37 between Kaiserslautern east and Hochspeyer. It isn’t far from DRMO which you can use as a nav reference. Good luck!
