After KP 43, you will see houses on the right called De Brakken. On July 2, 1940, the first farmlands in Hierden were requisitioned by the German occupiers. Construction then began on a shooting range where soldiers could train in firing artillery. The troops were housed at the beginning of the paved road in specially built barracks, which today have been converted into residential houses and are popularly known as De Brakken. Opposite these barracks were six small stone bridges, of which only two remain today. Army vehicles were parked on these bridges. Due to the tall trees behind them, the vehicles were hidden from view by aircraft.
