Neustift Memorial Site

Highlight • Historical Site

Memorial against forgetting!
Memorial at the original site with original parts of the "IRON CURTAIN" to the expulsion and demolition of the place NEUSTIFT.
(Here is an old map:

As beautiful as the untouched nature on the other side of the Maltsch appears, I get a very uneasy feeling when I think about how close, promptly and quickly politics has affected the lives of so many people in such a tragic way.

Potter's Trail Along the Maltsch

Highlight • Trail

Beautiful path .... on the Czech side you can see the wet meadows of the Maltsch with typical auvegitation.
In the past - when the "Iron Curtain" was still here, I would not have dared to go that far to the border.
