"After the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, the border zone that divided West and East Germany <…> the nearly 1,400-kilometer (870 miles) stretch, once known as the death strip, is a “green belt.”
It’s home to around 7,500 species of insects and spiders, hundreds of them endangered, as well as otters, wildcats and birds on the brink of extinction."
Can the route of the Berlin Wall be walked or is it limited to touristy sections ?
There’s a movie with Tilda Swinton riding her bike along the route of the Berlin wall. Looked very walkable
Found the reference:
In 1988, Tilda Swinton toured round the Berlin Wall on a bicycle - starting and ending at the Brandenburg Gate - accompanied by filmmaker Cynthia Beatt. As Swinton travels through fields and historic neighborhoods, past lakes and massive concrete apartment buildings, the Wall is a constant presence.
I will have to give it a looksie. I imagine a lot has changed since then though.
