Along the green belt, you will encounter a piece of German history here.
Many of the border posts to the former GDR, with the information boards, show the technical details of the border security at the time. Here in this "so-called no man's land" nature is in charge today.

A quiet and pretty area on the Green Belt, the former border between West Germany and East Germany (nowadays Lower Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt meet here). The former GDR patrol roads are a bit bumpy to ride by bike, as they mostly consist of perforated concrete slabs. In places, however, there are also paths that lead alongside the perforated plates.
