Walk along the former inner-German border on small border paths and the former Kolonnenweg. Experience the testimony of the German division and the unique, valuable nature of the "Green Belt" on a varied and demanding hiking route. The 1,393 km long "Green Belt" was launched in 1989 by the German Conservation Union together with conservationists from East and West, and is a national natural heritage as well as a living monument to the former division of Germany. A particularly beautiful and impressive section leads through the Harz.
