Hiking

This border area was already scary. When you consider that even people from the former GDR could not visit their friends and relatives in the border villages on a Caffè. They had to apply for a pass a few weeks before. And then it was up to the arbitrariness of the authorities if they even got one.

Before the opening of the border in Diesdorf the way for the population of the GDR was over. A few hundred yards away was the turnpike, which was occupied by border guards.
