Kahler Berg (Keuper Hill)

Highlight • Natural Monument

The short climb is worth it. From here, depending on the vantage point, you have a view of OP Point India (US or FRG side, today Hesse) and the Ifta border tower (GDR side, today Thuringia).

Former Inner German Border Fence – Green Belt

Highlight • Monument

Hiking on the Green Belt is always something special for me, because all roads ended there in the past. Apart from the colonnade there are beautiful little paths on both sides and the landscape is often stunningly beautiful.
