Wonderful view far into the Grabfeld ... but brutally steep ascent and possibly. damp underground extremely slippery .. to be enjoyed with care ... but the view compensates for everything .... 👍

Former Inner German Border Fence at Schlechtsarter Schweiz

Highlight • Historical Site

At this point there are still remains of the old border fortifications. After the fall of the Wall, NVA soldiers simply forgot to dismantle the 300-meter-long barriers. So a piece of the border fortification simply remained standing.

February 13, 2022,Rhön Wanderung: Erlebnistour Grenzgänger Grünes Band

A really nice hike - the border crosser. The starting point is Trappstadt - just before the border with Thuringia. From here, an interesting circular route leads along the former border between East and West. Many information boards provide information about the time before 1990. In between it's quite steep uphill - phew - sweat.

We started our hike from the parking lot "Zum Goldenen Lamm" in Trappstadt. The hiking trail is very well signposted and provides information about the history. The hike leads along the Thuringian border. Information boards can now be found where the border fence, which was more than three meters high, once stood. The hiking trail also leads through the "Altenburg" …

A really nice and very exciting round.
History you can touch... as part of the old border fence still stands.

Today I followed a tour tip from HoffiKC and it was definitely a worthwhile tour. Thank you for the recommendation!

The “Grenzgänger” circular hiking trail begins in the center of Trappstadt (Torhausstrasse), where there is also an overview board with information about the route. The path leads out of the village towards Linden, past a chapel and follows the corridor …

Inspired by a Söhni hike (@ Söhni: Thank you very much for the inspiration! 😉), today I hiked the "Der Grenzgänger" trail based on the tour mentioned above. There were great impressions that I was able to collect (and always checked to see if there were boundary stones🙈, with success😀). The weather was a bit changeable with a few small …

A very nice hike which Söhni stopped. We left the route a little and looked at the source of the Saale. 😎

Very interesting landscape. Great tour. Not for T-shirts and shorts, some high grass and bushes. Caution should be taken on the border stones.
