Since a century and a half, the woods and heaths to the north of Arnhem have been the scene of a wide range of military activities. What once began as a training ground for field artillery transformed during the Second World War into one of the largest military airfields in occupied territory. The German Luftwaffe spared no effort or expense to prevent recognition from the air: the hundreds of buildings were designed like small farmhouses and barns that were carefully fitted into the existing landscape. Almost 200 German buildings have been preserved and have been become, since 2007, one of the largest listed sites (Rijksmonumenten) in the Netherlands.

Verboden Landschap - Sporen en verhalen van een Duits-Nederlands cultuurlandschap is the zero issue of the OtherGuides series, published by Jap Sam Books and edited by Hans Jungerius.

OtherGuides lets readers experience what other travel literature prefers to remain silent about.

Hans Jungerius (1969) is an artist and explorer. Based on his interest in landscape and history, he organised projects and excursions in the Netherlands and abroad. In addition, Jungerius made two television series entitled Straal Voorbij ('right past' in Dutch), about places that we usually walk right past without noticing them. He also was the initiator of the repurposing of two former sites of the Ministry of Defence along the Northern edge of Arnhem as a creative living and working area named Buitenplaats Koningsweg.
