The patrol road is part of the inner-German border fortifications on the side of the former GDR.
From this spot you have a great view of Treffurt with Normannstein Castle.

The former column path runs above the Wiehleben refuge. From here you can always see views of the Werra Valley and Treffurt.

Hiking
Approximately 700 meters behind the old boundary stone from 1837, which marked the border between Hesse-Kassel and the Kingdom of Prussia, runs the former patrol road. The old boundary stones now mark the state border between Hesse and Thuringia. Until the opening of the border, the heavily fortified "Inner German Border" ran along this route. The area between the boundary stone and the patrol road, now overgrown, was then barren, and metal fences stood there. The patrol road, which stretches from south to north across Germany, served as a road for effectively controlling the border.
