I don't understand this attempt to inscribed a natural place around a cultural wall. The wall is not there anymore and a lot of land has gone back to agriculture use. I went to visit the Monument DDR-Grenzbeobachtungsturm near Hof and I saw very little that it could represent. How can it still be a 1,393 km long, continuous zone after all these changes in the last 25 years?! I also went to the old border post at Stapelburg and it was more natural and wild but in no way would I inscribed this as a site for being a landscape. A rather poor decision.

Just FYI the place in Hof is not free but if you arrive after the museum is closed (5pm?) nobody will really stop you. Also you are looking at the landscape and not the DDR border so I don't quite understand the costs.
