Tips
In the reed belt of the National Park, a memorial to the Iron Curtain was built. Between 1948 and 1989, this stretched along a length of 356 km with barbed wire and minefields along the western border of the country. Trilingual information boards in 3 stations discuss the dark history of these border closures.
