    Here is the former US camp "Point Alpha", located directly on the original preserved former border fortification. Here you can visit today the authentic Army facility and the original military equipment. The house on the border houses exhibitions on the border during the Cold War.

    Everything is commented on pointalpha.com, here you will also find entrance fees and opening times.
