    Your approx. 44 km circular route along the former inner-German border begins in Büchen-Dorf. Experience German history and pure nature. The start is at the Priesterkate from 1649. The cultural centre with an exhibition on the former inner-German border is the oldest dated agricultural building under monument protection in the Herzogtum Lauenburg.

    We recommend a detour to the Gartenschläger-Eck: In 1976, Michael Gartenschläger was shot here when he attempted for the third time to dismantle a self-firing device of the SM 70 type at the border fence.

    Author’s recommendation

    The return route shown here via Fitzen to the Priesterkate is also possible outside the ferry season without using the ferry.

    Current ferry operating times at Ferry Siebeneichen.
