      The 1.4-kilometer-long
      PATH OF HOPE
      on the former patrol road invites reflection.
      Fourteen monumental sculptures by the artist Dr. Ulrich Barnikel mark a section of the former death strip between Hesse and Thuringia. The Point Alpha Foundation erected it in 2009 to commemorate the resistance against communist dictatorships in Central and Eastern Europe.
