    Tips

    For decades, the GDR border troops kept the plants on the death strip of the inner German border as short as possible. This is how a unique heathland was created amidst the dense coniferous forests between Thuringia and Bavaria. In order to preserve this special landscape even today, the BUND grazes the Green Ribbon of sheep and goats today. So you enjoy on your walks heather and juniper bushes. In addition, you can see rare birds here - for example, the Red-backed Shrike.

        The Green Belt is only partially marked in this section. If you stick to the former Plattenweg, it's not that difficult to find your way around. The landscape is quite lonely but very beautiful.
        When it's wet you need good equipment because the grass is sometimes tall.
