    You just have to have hiked or driven along the old former border. The "Grenzer Weg" and here especially the Kolonnenweg offer the possibility.

      The Kolonnenweg is the concrete slab section of the former inner-German border and part of the 1300 km long "Green Belt" path. The border guards of the GDR patrolled these concrete slabs.

        Where the GDR border patrols used to be, today you can experience pure nature.
        Beautiful column path through the middle
        beautiful landscape.
