View of the Auensee

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the Auenseeblick sign it is worth walking a few meters towards Joditz, down the narrow pawn. The view of the Auensee is better from there.

Former Inner German Border at Gästehaus Kuhmühle

Highlight • Historical Site

Until 1989, FRG and GDR were separated here.
The bridge was the limit and no way through.
So close and yet so far😔
Then came the reunification and since then you can go over and over as you want😉
