Hiking

The “Schifflersgrund” circular trail begins and ends here. Over a distance of around eleven kilometers, hikers can learn a lot about the history of the former inner-German border with a focus on the region thanks to information desks set up there.

An absolutely must-see museum on the original site, complete with original border fortifications. You can walk along the border installation (green belt) and get a sense of what the situation was like back then.
