Point to point
Interesting hike in the former border area, Brandenburg/Berlin.
The route follows the section of the former border strip between the FRG and the GDR - although there are no longer too many traces of it here, the landscape provides a refreshing contrast to the hectic city. Shortly before reaching your destination, the former restricted military area of the "Parks Range ghost town" is reached, which was used by the US Army as a military training area until the 1990s.
The start and end points can be reached by bus and train.
