Hiking

Once, patrol paths were part of the inner-German border installations on the side of the former GDR. Today, they have mostly been converted into publicly accessible hiking trails. This patrol path, which leads past the Schifflersgrund border museum, is also such a hiking trail. It takes you past a historical backdrop made up of perforated concrete slabs and a section of the border fence.

An absolutely must-see museum on the original site, complete with original border fortifications. You can walk along the border installation (green belt) and get a sense of what the situation was like back then.
