During height of "Cold War" highway strips were build on special highway sections. They should be used as evasion airfields, if regular military airfields would habe been destroyed.
However during WorldWar II, they build such highway strips as well. Not only in Germany have been made such airfields, but also in Europe and world wide.
You may read more about it on (in german): Autobahn-Flugplätze. More coordinates of other airfields you will find on: Kondruss.

The cache is placed near Kirchardt-highway strip. It's one of the last build emergency airfields.

You may log the cache on two ways, only one log for each cacher:

1) Visit Kirchardt highway strip

2) Search for other emergency airfields. For a log you need:
- coordinates of airfield
- At least a picture from the typical parking place, with your GPSr and/or you.
- A picture of the typical median strip, if possible.

A straight piece of road is ot enough for a log! If typical proofs are absent, you will need a verification by an internet source.
Other logs will be removed.
