The Bavarian Forest Museum Village is located near Tittling. It is an open air museum on the southwestern shore of the Dreiburgensee in the Bavarian Forest.

Local residents tried to stop the convoy on their own by blocking tank tracks with makeshift objects and convincing Russian soldiers not to move towards  Kyiv . One man attempted to climb onto a tank and block the road with his body (he was not hurt). However, the military equipment continued to move, and Russian forces fired several shots into the air. Слава Україні!
