April 30, 2022,Grenzerfahrung Mödlareuth - Hüben-und-Drüben-Wanderung entlang der (ehem.) innerdeutschen Grenze

Once in the area, a visit to this small, historic village was a must.
In addition to visiting the museum and the other exhibitions, I wanted to walk along the "Green Strip" first on the Thuringian side and back on the Bavarian side.

Small afternoon stroll on Grenzbach Bavaria / Thuringia after which the TV series "Tannbach - fate of a village" was named. The "real" border village Mödlareuth am Tannbach shows the madness of that time with many picture panels and an open-air museum. Nice walk in the green valley🌳🌳☀️🌳🌳
