Here is an old B tower, which of course is not accessible. In conjunction with a small piece of border fence and the bare-cut area in front of the fence (formerly mined and equipped with self-shot systems), you can still get a depressing impression of the fears of the GDR leadership.

Barbed wire, border fence, B-tower, earth bunker, death strip or dog run - all terms that make you shudder. But these are exactly the relics that formed part of the inner-German border at the time.
In the small Harz village of Sorge, not far from the Brocken, you can find exactly this part of our country's history.
