Standortübungsplatz Höll, Military training ground in Saarland, Germany
Standortübungsplatz Höll is a military training facility in Saarland that spans across three municipalities and contains multiple exercise areas with target installations. The site features varied terrain and houses historical military vehicles that are used during training operations.
The facility began operations in 1962 and served as a training ground for paratroopers returning from European exercises. It has since developed into an important training location for multiple military units.
Ten percent of the training ground forms part of a protected landscape within the Natura 2000 European conservation area in the Saar-Nahe mountain region.
The site is not open to general public access as it remains an active military facility with strict access restrictions in place. Visitors should check in advance about security regulations and operational hours before planning a visit.
A pond in the center of the grounds creates a wetland habitat supporting diverse plant and animal species. This water body is part of the protected landscape within the Natura 2000 conservation zone of the Saar-Nahe region.
