Stasi-Schleuse

Highlight • Historical Site

Through this 40-meter-long concrete tube once Stasi employees were clandestinely rooted through the inner-German border - sometimes for espionage to West Germany, sometimes for rapport to East Germany. If you are brave, today you can even crawl through it yourself.

The Uhlenkopf is located directly on the Hessian-Thuringian border - and was until 1989 restricted area. Today you can enjoy the picturesque view of Werrabergland, which bears the romantic name "Hessian Switzerland".

Trail Reviews

Kerstin
October 24, 2021, Innerdeutsche Grenze im Werraland mit tollen Fernsichten
