W is for Wüstung Wollseifen

Wollseifen is a deserted village (in German: Wüstung) in the Eifel region. After the Second World War, the British forces had cleared the village to build a military training area, which in 1950 was handed over to the Belgians. From the former village only the church and the school building has been preserved. The buildings on the right in the picture were built for military exercises. Today Wollseifen is situated in the Eifel National Park and is once again open to visitors. some thoughts about this: -The processing in HDR shows hopefully how surreal it was to be there on a sunny saturday afternoon. - I´m sorry to Paradise who wanted to visit Wollseifen with me, but stays in the USA now (It HAS to be my picture for W...) - I like the nesting box in the upper window on the first building
