    in 1975 the border tower was erected and the ridge was cut down. Today, nature has taken back the mountain ridge. Only the border tower is still in the same place and reminds of the division of Germany and life in the former "border village" Rhoden.

      Today the Rhoden border tower is located on the "Green Belt", which is an almost 1400 km long strip of land along the former inner-German border and invites you to cycle or hike on quiet border paths and former patrol paths.

        A remnant of the former inner-German border near Rhoden on the old border path "Kleiner Fallstein". The tower is not accessible, but the structure is very nicely described on the display boards in front of it.
        This is also where the NHVL's stamp office No. 23 -Grenzturm/Kleiner Fallstein- is located.
