Here is a piece of divided Germany with remnants of the wall, antitank and observation tower has been preserved. The walk-through column path follows the former border and leads directly past the memory parts. Refuge and information boards on the details of the different levels of border security invite to a stop.

Oh, if it looks almost harmless today and nature has taken a lot back. Until 1989 it was absolutely deadly here!

The remains are still there, but they are getting on in years. But a good "monument"!
