Former Vogelsang military barracks

Highlight • Historical Site

Between 10,000 and 15,000 soldiers are said to have been stationed here during the Cold War. Given the size of the area, that is quite conceivable. There are residential buildings, a school, canteen and dining rooms, a theater, sports hall, boiler houses and impressive buildings for the higher ranks. The area also has huge vehicle hangars (partly filled in), rocket launch ramps and silos, and a nuclear shelter. The last soldiers left the barracks in 1994.

As with every lost place, extreme caution is required here due to the decay. Access is officially prohibited, but the site is a popular spot for geocachers, photographers, and the adventurous.

September 15, 2021,Lost Place - ehemaliges russisches Garnisonsgelände mit Raketensilos

An insider tip from our host! By the way, very nice rooms and a great restaurant "Alter Hafen im Ziegeleipark Mildenberg"!
Visit to an abandoned Russian garrison with missile bunkers.
Incidentally, point "B" was also our starting point, Komoot started too late. So there is about 3km more to footpath.
The parking lot is in Vogelsang. It was very exciting.

A few hundred sensational photos will soon be made into a photo book. - The best experience today - even unique for me - was the 10-minute encounter with a deer. It first appeared about 25m away, very slowly made a quarter turn around me, came to about 15m and even looked directly at me at times.

Today we went by car and then on foot to the former Red Army garrison town. Like all locations, it was abandoned in the early 1990s. The buildings have been rotting ever since. The site is currently being demolished and renovated. So we had to go again. But you have to be careful not to get into closed areas and …

My favorite Milka planned this great tour. It was an impressive tour and a lot of fun. Thank you.

The Soviet Army once used eight percent of Brandenburg's area for military purposes. The Vogelsang barracks were located in the middle of the Uckermark forest. Today it is an abandoned place that nature is taking over. A few houses on a …
