Hiking
In the reed belt of the National Park, a memorial to the Iron Curtain was built. Between 1948 and 1989, this stretched along a length of 356 km with barbed wire and minefields along the western border of the country. Trilingual information boards in 3 stations discuss the dark history of these border closures.

The sentry box also triggers anxiety when you imagine how it was manned by heavily armed soldiers who, in case of doubt, assumed that they were unarmed refugees.
