As part of the Poppenhausen circular trail, there's a memorial plaque commemorating the former border and, next to it, a plaque about the Landwehr. Both are very informative, and the surrounding area is vividly designed. The circular trail holds many surprises, making it worthwhile.

Interesting information about the former inner-German border and the former Saxon Landwehr.
Lovingly designed, part of the Poppenhäuser circular hiking trail.
