entry description
The tree is in the "Green Belt", right on the former border of the two German states, the death strip. This is in the Salzwedel area (Saxony-Anhalt), in the northern part of the border. The photo was taken on January 1st, 2020 in the fog. The Green Belt is an area that is protected and corresponds to the old border. In this part, salt domes are located just below the surface of the earth, so these are salt marshes with unique fauna, far from the sea.back to gallery
