Border guard hut
Border between Oberreute, Bavaria, and Sulzberg, Austria.
This former border guard hut is located on the Hochsträß ridge, on the path from Oberreute in Bavaria to Sulzberg in Austria. We have often stopped to rest here at the hut, and I am always fascinated by this romantic viewpoint. Until 1995, customs officers regularly patrolled here to prevent smuggling and illegal immigration. The interior of the hut is furnished as if it were still in use: the uniform coat hangs over the armchair, the binoculars lie on the table next to an old open newspaper.
