    Hiking

    It's so peaceful up here today. In the last days of the war in 1945, we probably took part in combat operations. The tombs commemorate this.

    The soldiers' graves on the Rennsteig near Siegmundsburg are also worth mentioning.
    They testify to the final resting place of those soldiers who fell near the Rennsteig in the last days of the war in April 1945.
    At the same time it is a place of reminder of the horrors of the Second World War.

    Hiking

    On the road between Siegmundsburg and Friedrichshöhe is the final resting place of German soldiers who fell in this area in the last days of the war in April 1945. This is a place of reminder of the horrors of the Second World War. Some of the dead were very young members of the Wehrmacht who opposed the approaching American troops and died in the process.
