        For almost 40 long years, the “Iron Curtain” separated man and nature throughout Europe.

        Deadly for humans, it was a blessing for nature:

        Because in the shadow of the border, threatened animals and plants had found an undisturbed home.

        Today the former border strip stretches across Europe as a “green belt” - a treasure trove of biodiversity.

        In the Harz region in particular, the inner-German border was painfully felt:

        The Brocken - an imposing and widely visible symbol of the Harz Mountains - could only be viewed from a distance by people in the East and West.

        It was in the restricted military area.

        Today the Harz has a new face:

        The life-giving Green Belt meanders along the former death strip - rich in attractions:

        Natural beauties nestle against cultural treasures.

        Adventurous excursions go hand in hand with contemplative moments.

        And you can hike to your heart's content ... through pure wilderness or on the trail of German history.

        Find out more about the Green Belt in Germany or take a look at the Harzer Grenzweg.

        The art on the Green Belt and other interesting things are also worth a look.

        And if you don't like exploring on foot, then simply use the cycle route on the Green Belt.
