    Hiking

    The iron sculptures of the Path of Hope are reminiscent of the Iron Curtain, whose length of 1400 meters is reminiscent of the 1400 km long former inner-German border.

    Mountain biking

    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.
