    Good cycling and hiking trails in the footsteps of the old GDR border. Various information boards telling the story.

      Quite informative. Just around the corner is the cold kitchen with snack

            Not easy to drive Plattenstraße, but a lot of nature

              Nice, well-preserved old border path. Easy to drive and reach. There are rest and refreshment opportunities nearby.
