Here a border gate blocked the Rennsteig until 1989 - since 1989 the Rennsteig has been accessible again in its full length

It is so absurd that there were times when the previous section (towards Hörschel) could not be entered because the actually existing socialism was afraid that people might not find reality as great as the party leaders.
Incomprehensible.

And it's all the nicer that it can be entered in a relaxed manner today.
