Münsingen

Experiences

Former military training area

The former military training area in Münsingen has been largely protected from settlement, road building, land consolidation and intensive commercial use thanks to its use by the military. Constantly grazed by sheep, a park-like pasture has been maintained here of the kind that would have been standard in the Alb region in the 19th century. Today this is accessible to the public and a real attraction for visitors to Münsingen.

Großes Lautertal
