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 symbol of days gone by. Still awakens a lot of children's fantasies.
