At the new EU center at Westerngrund is the 15th and last information board. Here you can get information about the last accession country Croatia.

The current EU center was nicely laid out. You can get a lot of information about the EU countries. Lovingly designed I also find the tank filled with earth layers of some countries. A nice place to stay.
