Winding its way through trees and overgrown ruins, the Archaeological Trail leads through the former fuel depot in Lichtenau-Herbram-Wald. Information panels and themed stations reveal what is barely recognizable at first glance today: concrete roads, a railroad track, bunkers, pumping stations, and other remnants of the former facility.

The fuel depot was built in the 1930s to supply the Wehrmacht with fuel and lubricants. Today, it is preserved as an archaeological site. Traces of the facility tell the story of the Nazi regime’s preparations for war and the destruction that occurred at the end of World War II.

The tour takes visitors to several marked thematic stations, allowing them to experience history firsthand on the site.

Directions

From the information board on Erlenweg, we follow the path out of town and, from here, take Birkenweg into the forest. At the curve, we leave the trail and turn right onto the path into the woods. Here we come across the first posts, where we can use QR codes to access information about the individual stations.

We walk around the fire pond; after the “Gasoline” station, we leave the trail and follow the small path to the left, which leads us back into town. We follow the Eggering to the left and then return to the starting point via Tannenweg.
