Pydna (missile base)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Pydna (rocket station))
Pydna is a former American missile base in Kastellaun, Germany.
Nuclear-equipped MGM-1 Matador, MGM-13 Mace and Nike-Hercules Missiles were stationed here.
It now hosts Nature One, a famous open-air electronic music festival.
Festival facilities now utilize the very bunkers that were once home to 64 Ground-Launch Cruise Missiles (GLCM) (BGM-109), Tactical Nuclear Missiles, under the operational control of the 38th Tactical Missile Wing of the United States Air Force.
