Hiking

The Kolonnenweg (conveyor path) was part of the inner-German border fortifications on the former GDR side. It was constructed from uniform, highly weather-resistant perforated concrete paving stones, most of which were overgrown with vegetation and thus firmly anchored to the ground.

In contrast to the rest of the border fortifications, the Kolonnenweg (conveyor path) has largely been preserved even decades after the end of the GDR and today serves as a hiking and cycling path along the former border, although movement on the rather uneven surface caused by the eroding of the concrete cavities is sometimes very difficult.

Hiking

Here the path runs along the former inner-German border... even today you can hike along it on the Green Belt... although very beautiful nature awaits on both sides, hiking on these bumpy concrete slabs is very arduous.
