It's a shame, we actually wanted to stop there for a rest, but the hut seems to have been demolished. Maybe there'll be a new one someday.

A good place to rest right next to the bike path in the shade under a linden tree. The square is called "Place of Encounter" because the border fence ran along this site during the division of Germany. A linden tree was planted here in remembrance on November 18, 1990.
