Directions
On the highway (A6) take exit 14 (Kaiserslautern-Einsiedlerhof) and take left towards the airfield. Take the third exit in the roundabout and then again left. Continue the road until you see a small parking lot (with concrete blocks). Park your car there because the following road is officially restricted to local traffic and deliveries only. Walk the rest towards the highway, follow it, until you see a path on the right going into the wood and to the fence (about 1km).
