The German-German Border Trail is an appealing combination of historical chronicle, bicycle tourism, leisure and culture. It presents the inhuman former border-strip between East and West Germany, the so-called "death-strip", as a living ecological monument; a huge natural habitat that is today a unique memorial to the German division and re-unification. The 1,400 km long bicycle- trail is divided into a total of 37 stages, each of which starts and finishes by a railway station, wherever possible.
