The state border between Hesse and Lower Saxony, rarely so beautifully designed.

Visitors cannot miss the small square house, even just visually. It stands right next to the bridge that leads to the popular tourist destination, and shines out at visitors in the strong colors of black, red and yellow.

"The house is intended to draw attention to a special feature," explains Bernhard Ruschinski, who built and painted the house, "the state border between Lower Saxony and Hesse."

The 73-year-old is a member of the Tillyschanze Protection and Promotion Association, which has been working for years to preserve and renovate the observation tower and the zigzag path that leads directly up the mountain from Münden.

An adult can comfortably stand in the small house and turn around on their own axis. The tapered entrance is on the side of the restaurant.

Under the roof, which is covered with weatherproof roofing felt, hangs a sign reading "Tillyschanze border checkpoint." "It is built entirely from old pallets," says Ruschinski.

The idea for the checkpoint came from the new owner of the "Waldgaststätte Tillyschanze" restaurant, Thomas Probek. "He asked me if it could be built." This was no problem for the pensioner, who used to work as a carpenter. "I am a technical employee in the support association," he explains with a wink.

From the old town of Hann. Münden, the Tillyschanze ski jump is easily accessible via a zigzag path. Up there on the Lower Saxony-Hesse border, there's a lovely beer garden. There's a wedding room at the Tillyschanze ski jump, and many couples have immortalized themselves with heart-shaped memorials in the garden.
