Here you walk along the Green Belt. The green strip runs along the former inner German border and transforms the former death strip into a nature experience.

The patrol route was created to ensure that the GDR border security controls could quickly reach each section of the border. It ran behind the border fortifications and is still easily recognizable today thanks to the concrete slabs laid out and has been almost completely preserved.

The old concrete route is not so pleasant for walking, but the piece of landscape is all the more beautiful.
