in the middle of the forest are the remains of old GDR surveillance practices. At Pötenitz is one of the watchtowers, which guarded by GDR border guards that yes no GDR citizens lost.

Old border tower that reminds you of the bad times of divided Germany. You could see the west from here, but couldn't get there!
