Schwedenschanzen in Lauerholz

Highlight • Historical Site

The name "Schwedenschanze" is actually wrong. The name comes from the fact that old fortifications were simply called that in the past.
This rampart consists of up to five ramparts and was intended to protect the Lübsche area from the Mecklenburgers.

Kolonnenweg in the Palinger Heide and Teschow Peninsula

Highlight • Trail

The concrete slabs of the lane are original. From here, the border could be monitored by car and on foot and troops could be transported on it.

Kolonnenweg of the Former Inner German Border

Highlight • Trail

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.

During the GDR era, it served the GDR border troops to reach every point on the border as quickly as possible by vehicle. Between the Kolonnenweg and the actual border were the control strip and the border fence or border wall.
