Truppenübungsplatz Bergen
As well as farming, the woods and the River Böhme, the "Böhmeschlucht" campsite, which is sited in the gorge of the same name, also stamps the character of Vierde. Vierde is located in the Heidmark, which was once the most beautiful part of the Lüneburg Heath. Large parts of the Heidmark were turned into a military training area in 1935/36 (nowadays the largest of its kind in Europe, the Bergen-Hohne Training Area), and numerous villages disappeared from the map.
