On the Wenigentaft - Soisdorf road: At this point, the border with its barriers crossed the Wenigentaft - Soisdorf road. The patrol track also led up to the Standorfsberg here. Due to the enormous gradient - probably the steepest in the entire system of GDR border fortifications - it was only used by vehicles in exceptional cases for safety reasons. The slabs were removed towards the end of the 90s.
