The German-Czech border is a 815-kilometer long border that separates Germany and the Czech Republic. It stretches from the westernmost point of Germany to the northeast of the Czech Republic. The border is mostly defined by mountain ranges, with the Ore Mountains in the north and the Bohemian Forest in the south.
The border has had a significant historical context, particularly during the Cold War, as it separated the Western and Eastern blocs. The division was fortified with barbed wire, guard towers, and minefields, making it one of the most heavily fortified borders in the world.
After the fall of the Iron Curtain, the borderlands were opened up, and the barriers were removed. Today, the border region has become a popular destination for tourists, and the recreational activities include skiing, hiking, and cycling.
The border region is also home to numerous cultural landmarks, including castles, churches, and monasteries. The Czech and German governments have given priority to restoring and preserving historic sites, making it an ideal destination for history and culture buffs.
