The 4th stage of the Elbhöhenweg also leads here, which I can highly recommend. All information about the Elbhöhenweg can be found at the following link: https://www.wanderbares-deutschland.de/wege/alle-wege/elb-hoehenweg-etappe-4-von-hitzacker-bis-neu-darchau-e82d5a097d (Status: 02.05.2026).

The former border watchtower south of Boizenburg was once part of the GDR border security regime and stood at a checkpoint/crossing on the Elbberg. It was part of the five-kilometer exclusion zone, through which residents were only allowed to enter with a pass; the tower served to observe and control passenger and freight traffic. Today, it is preserved and incorporated into the Elbberg Museum in Boizenburg as a memorial to the inner-German border.
