Hiking

Along the former inner-German border, which today bears the name "the Green Belt", the BUND deploys sheep and goats as landscape keepers. In the middle of the dense Thuringian and Bavarian forests, the unique heath and meadow landscape is preserved. Thanks to the careful work of the grazing animals you also have a great view over the course of the Green Belt.

Today it is hard to imagine what inhuman border with mine fields and self-firing systems once ran here.
