Tracing the past.
It's been here a long time. We GDR children would never have imagined we'd be walking here.

The Grenzlandweg starts near Duderstadt and connects on a circular route 24

Today we walked from the parking lot of the Borderland Museum along the Kollonenweg, which separated the GDR and FRG, to the Pferdeberg, where a still preserved border tower commemorates the SED regime and its border soldiers. We then walked past the Pferdeberg tower back towards the Borderland Museum, which we finally paid a visit to.

I think the entry fee of €4 is quite reasonable. You should plan at least 1 hour just for the museum, without the Grenzlandweg.
The Grenzlandweg can also be walked without visiting the museum.

Yesterday we were in the Grenzlandmuseum Eichsfeld / Thuringia. Today we did the almost 6 km long Grenzlandtour (shortened) from the Grenzlandmuseum. Here you walk directly along the former border installations of the zone border. There are many information boards.
However, we started the tour from Teistungenburg. This used to be a castle, later a large monastery. The monastery also …
