Observation Tower at Deutsch-Deutsches Freilandmuseum Behrungen

Highlight • Monument

Borderland - Museum Behrungen,
here you can learn a lot about the former German-German border.
If I hadn't experienced the division of Germany myself, it would be hard to imagine the inhumanity of the border at that time.

Highlight • Historical Site

Nice little memorial to the German division. And you should just stand there and be happy that you can now walk and drive there.

Lakeside kiosk

Highlight • Cafe

Located directly on the lake, you can enjoy something to eat or drink there. Right next to the kiosk seating is an electric bike charging station, very convenient. The view overlooks the lake, a beautiful setting. The opening hours can be seen in one of the photos.
