With special postmark and a bank. Very nicely located. The way there is very steep for a short time.

Border post at the two-country oak, a bit remote from other highlights.

Border route including special stamp.
Quite a lot going on in good weather. Already crowded on the day of German unity.

A piece of German history. 31 years ago it was very dangerous in this place, luckily this is history. Everyone should have done this tour once.

All sorts of old boundary stones can still be found to the left and right of the border path.

Today in the middle of the forest, this post used to mark the division of Germany into East and West. In the colors black/red/yellow, it now marks only one country. The former border coat of arms of the GDR has only been preserved in a rudimentary form.
