Borderland Trail Green Belt

From here, it is only a few steps towards the forest, where a large wooden sign and an information board point the way to the former border between Rade and Waddekath.

In the forest, you come across old border installations and information boards that keep the memory of the former German-German border alive. A small path leads from there to the remains of the border wall and to a one-man bunker. Turning your back on both literally leaves the past behind. Because the border walk now leads along the former border on the east side to the north and on the west side back to Rade. Unthinkable during the times of divided Germany.

While thoughts wander into the past, you follow the "Kolonnenweg," along the former border ditch. Again and again, there is a wide view over meadows and fields, interrupted by bushes and small woods. Back in Rade, the path leads right through the village, past the freestanding bell to the starting point Radener Deele.
