The “Heimatblick” in the Bavarian Rhön is a place with profound historical significance and a breathtaking view. Located along the approximately 40 km long Peace Trail, which traces the former inner-German border between the National Monument Sculpture Park German Unity and Birx, this point offers a unique view of the area of the former GDR, now part of Thuringia.

This particular viewpoint is significant not only for its historical relevance, but also for the wonderful natural beauty it encompasses. Visitors can take a break here in a spacious shelter and enjoy the peace and quiet on one of the many benches. The view extends far over the rolling hills and forests of the Thuringian Rhön, a panorama that invites you to pause and reflect.

The “Heimatblick” is a symbol of overcoming the division of Germany and stands as a reminder of how far the country has come. It offers a place for reflection on the past and hope for a peaceful future.

The Peace Trail itself is a path of reflection that takes hikers on a journey through recent German history. He tells stories about life on and with the former border and invites you to think about the meaning of freedom and unity.

The “Heimatblick” and the Friedensweg in the Rhön are therefore more than just hiking destinations; they are places of remembrance, education and engagement with an important piece of German history. They provide an opportunity to reflect on the events of the past while enjoying the beauty and tranquility of nature.
