    Very nice monument not far from the former border.

      You can take a short break after walking around the great Werratalsee with beautiful views. With small new play stations for the children you can
      lure them into the fresh air.
      Always worth a tour no matter what the weather.

            This green living monument represents 25 years of reunification. Germany is growing together, like these trees.
            The pine tree symbolizes the East.
            The beech symbolizes the West.
            The oak symbolizes united Germany.

            An initiative by Werner Erhardt
            Under the auspices of
            Federal Chancellor Dr. Angela Merkel
            Supported by the German Forest Protection Association 🌳🌲 🌳

              A nice rest area and at the same time a monument to German unity and reunification.
              Interesting design with the symbolic trees (pine=East, beech=West and oak=united Germany) and information boards.
