Highlight is positioned in the wrong place. There was never a military area here, it was on the other side of the road.
At this location there is a small pond in the Elmpter Schwalmbruch nature reserve.

A beautiful landscape, mostly it is difficult for me whether I stay by the river or cross the Elmpter Schwalmbruch.
