    Hiking

    The “Green Belt” nature conservation project was born shortly after the border was opened. Nature and environmental conservationists met to secure the former border strip as the "ecological backbone of Central Europe". The death strip has been turned into a "lifeline"; he became a paradise for nature.
    The Heinz Sielmann Foundation initiated the Eichsfeld-Werratal Green Belt project. Between the Harz and the Thuringian Forest, in the 3 federal states of Thuringia, Lower Saxony and Hesse, 130 km of the Green Belt are maintained as a biotope network.
    The entire Green Belt now runs over 12,500 km through Europe.

    Hiking

    A 1,393 km long "Green Belt" stretches right through Germany from the Baltic Sea to the Saxon-Bavarian Vogtland. It is a valuable biotope with a width between 50 and 200 m wide. It was created from the unused areas of the former inner-German border protected by the border installations.
