The atonement cross is said to be a sign of a serious crime: A duel between two officers took place here. One of the duelists did not survive this conflict. As a result, the "right of atonement" was applied, which enabled the criminals to work off their deeds by erecting an atonement cross at the scene of the crime.

A moving place that invites you to pause and reflect. The memorial plaque and information point at Pabstleithen commemorate the fate of 57 families who were forcibly resettled between the 1950s and 1970s due to the proximity to the border. Where hikers now walk in the silence of the Green Belt, entire livelihoods were destroyed in the past.

From here you can see the former GDR border tower near Wiedersberg. It stands as a warning monument directly on the border between Saxony and Bavaria. In combination with the nearby Dreiländereck (three-country point), the oppressive history of the division, but also today's peace on the Green Belt is particularly noticeable here.

A highlight on the former death strip, which today connects the countries as the "Green Belt" lifeline. In addition to the historical border stones, the lovingly maintained soldier's grave on the German side is a silent witness to the past. The information boards on site provide a very clear explanation of the history of the surrounding deserted settlements.

You can easily take the on-demand bus to Papstleiten, then it's only a few kilometers to walk to km O.

All that remains of the mill is the expiatory cross, the mill stream with arched bridge, a cellar and the well. The residents were expelled after the Second World War before the border was built.

The green belt or the Kolonnenweg is not an ideal hiking trail. The slabs with the partially unfilled holes are difficult to walk on. In addition, the border follows the terrain and is not well adapted to it. There are steep passages. The green belt has developed into a nature reserve and is therefore popular with hikers. Nevertheless, it is advisable not to just follow the slabs and instead meander around the hiking trails.
