Midsummer in the Saale Valley. This view was not always accessible. For over 30 years, this area was a restricted zone, and the Saale was a border river between the GDR on the far side and the FRG on the left side of the Saale. Thankfully, today the Saale only forms the small border between Thuringia and Bavaria. View from the  watch hill  in Pottiga towards Blankenberg. 01.08.2012

View of the Blumenau Mill on the Saale River.  
In 2011, a viewing platform was inaugurated at Wachhügel near Pottiga. The platform stands at an elevation of 472 m directly on the steeply sloping hillside of the Saale Valley. Visitors are treated to a magnificent panorama. They can see the Saale River and the Blumenau Mill right at their feet. From the platform, the view extends far into the former border area between East and West Germany (Thuringia-Bavaria), which was separated for three decades by the Iron Curtain. 01.08.2012 Pottiga/Saale-Orla District

Summer landscape near Gutenfürst at the former inner-German border DDR-FRG.  
Today, thankfully, it looks more peaceful, without barbed wire and border troops.  
At a distance of 200 meters, today there is only the border between the two free states of Saxony and Bavaria. 04.08.2012
