DDR Border Stone

Highlight • Monument

Patrol road from 50 years ago. Border guards patrolled here to monitor the "Western State Border". Be careful! The hotplates are hard to turn and you could easily twist your ankle.

Evening sky over Schmerbach as a haven of peace and resilience hike at the end of May 2025. Drawing strength from tranquility.

Friedensweg Signpost

Highlight • Trail

The Peace Trail is a premium hiking trail that runs to Birx. Along its length, there are many panels detailing the region's history during the Cold War. It's very interesting and informative.
