Remembering the division of Germany, on a tour on the column path you think back, we can be happy to have overcome this chapter

The plaques are still visible and should serve as a warning to us: once we were divided by barbed wire and concrete, today we are divided by walls, dividing our minds.
Do as nature does, let the grass grow over it, stick together despite, or perhaps because of, our differing opinions.

I already find the former border routes very exciting. As you walk along, you get one or two memories of "back then".
