    Hiking on the border paths is a constant reminder of the recent history of Germany and makes us aware of how happy we can be to have overcome the division.

      The former border is now a green ribbon.

        I think it's great that a few relics of the past have been preserved here before these chapters of history also disappear into the fog. In addition, the various biotopes of the Green Belt can be clearly seen here
