Geführte Fahrradtour: Zur Geschichte der innerdeutschen Grenze

On this bike tour, participants in your group will explore remnants and vegetation traces of the former border with a trained city guide at 10 to 12 stations. They will learn stories and personal fates from the time of Germany’s division. One station is the Grenzhus in Schlagsdorf, where a visit to the museum and the outdoor area is possible (entrance fee and guided tour can be booked and paid for individually, if desired – www.grenzhus.de).
