Ordinary DDR citizens would never be able to get so close without raising suspicion.

A bunker is placed with an overall view of the border area.

Anti-vehicle traps and ditch remain in place.

On the eastern side there is a display of the dog-runs and warning signal apparatus.

Lights and an audible warning would show the guards the location where the fence had been touched.

A sign saying that in March 2001 a ten year old boy found an intact PPM2 landmine at this spot.
