    Hiking

    The former border company 12 Spechtsbrunn (at times also referred to as the 10th border company) was a military property of the GDR border troops directly on the Thuringian Rennsteig. The barracks were located in the heavily secured restricted area not far from the inner-German border with Bavaria.
