Bonnland - an unusual German village
Bonnland, a village of 120 buildings, without one inhabitant living there.
It is in use since 1937 for the German Army, Firefighters, Police and THW as a Practicetown.
It's a no go area for ordinary citizens. Only one day in the year, the first of october, ex-inhabitants are allowed to walk around through "their" town for some hours.
PLUS every 5 years the army opens bonnland for 2 days, called "the bonnland festival" In 2005, during the latest festival 29.000 people took the chance and visited the town.
Impressions.

WTF, had no idea something like this exists in Germany. The village looks way to nice for an army training ground. They should have build a more generic village somewhere else.
