Hiking

The border wall, similar to the Berlin Wall, ran right through the village, dividing it into a West German (Bavarian) and an East German (Thuringian) section. This wall was about 700 meters long and 3.3 meters high and was built by the GDR.

Hiking

Here, an important period of recent German history is presented in a very attractive and informative way for all ages.
I passed by here on the night leg of the Saale Orla Hundred, and the outdoor area with the original border fortifications seemed even more impressive...
