Brander Wald, Nature reserve in Aachen, Germany
The Brander Wald spans 165 hectares of protected natural land, featuring diverse ecosystems and numerous walking trails through the forested landscape.
Designated as a protected environmental zone in 2003, the Brander Wald has transformed from a military training ground into a vital nature conservation area.
The forest serves as an educational center where visitors can learn about local flora and fauna while participating in guided nature walks and conservation programs.
Visitors can access the reserve through designated parking areas at Birkenstraße 37 and Buschmühle 16, with entrance prohibited during military training activities.
Within the forest boundaries, deteriorating M47 Patton and M41 Walker Bulldog tanks from the 1950s remain as permanent fixtures among the natural vegetation.
