The Grenzmuseum Schifflersgrund (near Bad Sooden-Allendorf) is one of the oldest memorial sites on the former Iron Curtain. It preserves relics such as the GDR border fence, helicopters, and watchtowers. The modern permanent exhibition ("Grenzgeschichten") makes the division and life in the border area interactively tangible.
