This path was created on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the reunification of the German states.
It leads first past the Burgstein ruins from the hiking parking lot. The late medieval churches were pilgrimage sites on the border of the dioceses of Bamberg and Naumburg, then fell into ruin and experienced a revival as a destination for excursions in the 19th/20th century. The German division then turned the area around Burgstein into a remote border region.
We walk past the idyllic Kienmühle to Gutenfürst. Here, the station was located directly on the inner-German border from 1945 to 1990 and was fortified in the 1970s to subject the "interzone trains" to strict controls. Also worth seeing here are the manor house, the area around the forest pond, and the Brauhauspöhl (nature reserve).
In Grobau there is a beautiful view from the 606 m high Kappel.
After crossing the Grobau-Münchenreuth road, the history and special characteristics of the Green Belt are described on three information boards. Then you reach the Three-State Stone. Several information boards are also located here.
Now it goes almost unnoticed over to the Bavarian-Franconian Münchenreuth.
From here it is only 2 kilometers to Mödlareuth, the once divided village. But we turn south in Münchenreuth and follow the signposting to Feilitzsch. On the way, we cross both the A 72 motorway Plauen-Hof and the railway line which runs from Plauen or Gera to Hof.
