Apart from a few monuments, there is nothing left to remind us of the former death strip that divided Germany over 30 years ago. Today, there is a wonderful path along the banks of the peaceful Saale.

It's not easy to walk on the column path. It is nice that the former border strip has been preserved as a protected landscape area.
