Tips from the Community

Antje 🚵‍♀️🚶‍♀️🏔🏕🤟
October 3, 2025, Der Friedensweg – Former Inner-German Border and Peace Memorial

The former inner-German border ran here between Henneberg, Thuringia, and Eußenhausen, Bavaria. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, a sculpture park with relics from that era was created here to commemorate the division of Germany. A beautiful place to pause and reflect!
