A beautiful view to the east. An old watchtower complex on the former border strip. Part of the Eichsfeld Borderland Museum. Freely accessible, but the tower itself is not open to the public.

Here, one clearly sees the incomprehensible effort required to secure the GDR's borders. Probably no mouse could have made it to the West unnoticed.
