Access to the Green Belt (Grünes Band)

From Ziemendorf you have a convenient access to the trail "Green Belt". You get to the top of the Wirler and on the way there are signs of the former border fences.

The Wirler Spitze is an impressive place in the "Green Belt" - the old inner German border. There is a circular route where you can experience old border hills, reminder and remains of mines, as well as nature observations of goat and antlion.

The Green Belt Germany is a nature conservation project by several federal states.

The 50–200 m wide strip of land extends from Travemünde to the border triangle at Hof.
The Green Belt Germany is part of the Central European section of the Green Belt Europe.
The Green Belt is the largest biotope network in Germany.
