An old map, still hanging in another location in the woods (see photo), confirms the bullet trap of the large firing range. The GDR is still a blank spot on the map there, the "Large Firing Range" is also marked, and we are at its end here. ✔️

It's a bit far from here to the sailing ship, but whatever ;). I suggest going to the ferry port, buying a ticket (it's a small cost, but the route isn't long either 😂) and admiring this wonder that is the PASSAT up close.
