>>2628472At least for bike packing, i only ever ventured around in the east, since that‘s where i sued to live until a while ago, so you can try out the Spreewald, Ober and Unterlausitz, basically the entirety of Mecklenburg Vorpommern and it‘s hundreds of lakes (think of a miniature Finland with more NeoNazis), the Harz, no matter which state‘s part of it and the Thüringer Wald.
In general, germanys forest are almost always just timber farms with alot of cut through terrain and little pathways through it.
If you have a trekking or gravel bike, you should be able to traverse it so that you‘re within a few hundred meters or your desired spot.
Due to that, i usually took and carried my bike in.
>regarding the military groundsIn general, if you search for „Truppenübungsplatz „ and add the state‘s name to that, it‘ll show you those areas.
They‘re usually marked by white signs in german stating „TRUPPENÜBUNGSPLATZ“, they‘re mostly also in english beneath that swell, and in border regions, at least in the esst, they‘re even additionally wrote in czech or polish, since such encounters aren‘t rare.
In general, these training areas are made in a way, that you‘d have to stroll really deep into it to actually endanger yourself, germany is really autistic about safety and there‘s usually alooot of backstop and woods around any range.
But you still might ruin some drone operators or scout‘s or snipers day or night with you being there.
We had some dude wander into an active night live fire training at a MOUT town at Lehnin because his Dog ran off late in the evening in a nearby forest and he airtag-located it near us.
Dude almost got sprayed by plastic 7,62mm training ammo.
We actually found the dog and managed to reunite them both.
But all that really isn‘t that big of a deal or actual danger, i just felt like sharing my stories here and also giving you a headsup, since i‘ve seen these things happen occasionally by now.
