Hiking

The patrol path can sometimes be dreary and monotonous without a view. If you have the Heldrastein as your goal, the time will still pass quickly. 😉👋

Hiking

The patrol path and the GDR border fortifications are still fairly well defined here, as they truly run like a green belt through the middle of the forest. Walking only on the patrol path is very rough in the long run.
