East German Border Column on the Gobert

Highlight • Monument

A weathered border post remembers when Germany was divided by an inner German border. Today, the border between Hesse and Thuringia runs here, which you can luckily cross without hindrance. There is also a beautiful view.

Schöne Aussicht Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

A wonderful view of the valley of the Werra. Especially recommended in autumn, where the deciduous trees can be seen in a variety of discolorations. Pure Indian Summer!

Therefore, during a break at the fair, we set off for the Gobert trail. This time, we chose the hiking parking lot below the barbecue area in Hitzelrode …
