The memorial site has been very thoroughly constructed. All details of the border security are recognizable, down to the SM 70 self-disarming system. Was very valuable for me.

From the jetty you have a lovely view over the Schulsee lake and of the old town of Mölln with the St. Nicolai Church in the background.
