The section runs on a former patrol route on the border between the FRG and the GDR. The path with the roughly perforated concrete slabs is not easy to walk. It is easy to step into the holes and stumble. Still, this is a very interesting path for anyone interested in recent German history.

Runs well, also something for less persistent hikers.

The path is really going better than expected. However, it is somewhat sparsely signposted in the direction of Thüringen Warte. Sometimes there are two or three intersections with no direction.
