Tips from the Community

Rennsteig To〽️ 🌲 🌳
April 17, 2026, Wirler Spitze – Green Belt Memorial

At this point, the West German area jutted pointedly into the GDR, the next place in the West is Wirl, hence Wirler Spitze as it seems, it was one of many visitor points to look into the East. Opposite the Spitze on the Kolonnenweg stood an observation tower (BT) a small sand hill or dune named Klocksberg, here you can move freely today, in all directions! There are some nature conservation projects: biotopes, pulling pines, etc. It should also be a place of remembrance and reflection. 2 posts of the border fence have remained

On the Altmark side, there is a rest area, unfortunately only in the shade, with information about nature conservation along the Green Belt.
