A look into the old Muna with Lost Places is always worthwhile

Assisted living on a larger scale, complementing the restaurant offerings, new hotel rooms, a restaurant, and the discontinuation of the banquet hall: This is what the future of the long-closed "Rogge Dünsen" inn could look like.

The line through the Dünsen Forest runs parallel to the "Langes Tal" road, climbing a slight incline to reach the Dünsen stop at km 20.050. Here stands the building of the station restaurant and hotel "Waldfrieden," preserved in a contemporary style, which today houses the "Landhotel Rogge Dünsen." All switches have been removed, so only the trapezoidal signs remain as a reminder of the former station.

A very historic place. It is very humbling when you learn what has happened here and what was stored here. Fortunately, the weapons stored here were never used. I highly recommend visiting.
