    Tips

    Simply visit the historic place and think back to old, bygone times. I am glad that the borders (GDR/FRG) are gone and we are one country again!

      The former border tower on the Dachsberg is unfortunately not accessible.

        BT6(4x4) - former command post (FüSt) with earth bunker for the border troops in this section. You can also see the border tower at the former Henneberg border crossing in the distance on the mountain. The barracks of the Hermannsfeld border company are located to the east in the forest
        Possibility to rest, good panoramic view
