The former border watchtower south of Boizenburg was once part of the GDR border security regime and stood at a checkpoint/crossing on the Elbberg. It was part of the five-kilometer exclusion zone, through which residents were only allowed to enter with a pass; the tower served to observe and control passenger and freight traffic. Today, it is preserved and incorporated into the Elbberg Museum in Boizenburg as a memorial to the inner-German border.

A beautiful place to take a break.

The trail has some climbs and descents. The slabs have holes in them, making it quite bumpy, but the trail is quite easy to ride.

A detour from the circular trail to the ancient and mighty Hutebuche is worthwhile. Hudewälder (forests), also called Hutewald (forests), are an ancient form of forest management in which livestock were driven into the forest for grazing ("hutting"). The pigs and cattle ate beechnuts, acorns, and herbs, thus preventing natural forest regeneration. Only a few, now very old and mighty trees with spreading crowns remained standing. However, another traditional farming forest use, the "Krattwald" (forest), seems to have led to the emergence of this Hutebuche. According to this, it was "cut back to the stump" every 15 to 20 years, resulting in increasingly voluminous new shoots. The harvest had a variety of uses: the bark was used for tanning, the wood as building material and fuel, and the leaves as fodder and bedding for livestock. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hutebaum
