    Former inner-German border with remnants of the barrier system (GDR observation tower, metal lattice fence, bunker, motor vehicle ditch, forensics strip, patrol route, etc.). This area is a station on the approx. 800 m long border educational trail at the end of Obersuhl, it is freely accessible and can be visited free of charge all year round.
