Hiking

On November 9, 2019, this memorial site "Old GDR Border - Stones help to remember" was inaugurated for the anniversary "30 years of the opening of the border". A piece of the original border fence has been preserved here.

The former border fence suddenly appears in the middle of the surrounding pine forest. The memorial is located on the old patrol route of the GDR border guards.

Hiking

At the memorial, the separation from Germany can be seen clearly and out of nowhere. You get really thoughtful. For our children in particular, it is history to touch.
