The 1.4 km long "Path of Hope" on the former patrol path invites you to think. 14 monumental sculptures by the artist Dr. Ulrich Barnickel mark a piece of the former death strip between Hesse and Thuringia. The Point Alpha Foundation erected it in 2009 to commemorate the resistance against the communist regimes in Central and Eastern Europe.

Great art trail with extraordinary works of art. Impressive when you consider the connections presented.

An impressive, easy-to-walk path with many works of art made from a wide variety of materials, all of which probably had a connection to the border. A few meters behind the path of hope there is a bench with a wonderful view.
