Brander Wald

Brander Wald is a nature reserve in Aachen with protected land offering diverse habitats. Narrow paths run through forested areas where visitors encounter different plant species and woodland types.

The land was formerly used for military training before being placed under protection. This conversion helped preserve the forest and its wildlife.

The forest is a place where visitors discover plants and animals native to the region. People use it to explore nature and learn about local habitats.

The site has entrances at several locations where visitors can enter freely. However, you should check before visiting whether training activities are underway, as access may be restricted at times.

Rusted tanks from the 1950s stand among the trees, reminding visitors of the military past. These vehicles are now part of the landscape and accompany hikers on their walks.
