The former inner-German border ran through the Lange Rhön nature reserve. There is another watchtower here. The piece of border fence was subsequently rebuilt. Further explanations can be found on information boards on site.

This small "museum complex" gives - even if only to a very modest extent - an insight into the conquered border regime ...
In addition, a wonderful place to rest with brilliant views ...

Extremely informative and not to be overlooked. Lots of history in a small space.
