Iron Curtain Trail

To experience history in the truest sense of the word - that is the target of the Iron Curtain Trail. From the Barents Sea to the Black Sea it follows the tracks of the Cold War through Europe. Thereby the route does not only combine European culture, history and sustainable tourism but rather guides the cyclist interested in history through diverse landscapes and the unique biotopes of the European Green Belt which could develop in the death strip.

This first book documents the 3,500 kilometre long northern section of the route from the Norwegian Kirkenes to the German-Polish border by Swinemünde. You will thereby cycle from the impressive vastness of Norway and Finland over the diversified Baltic and the appealing Polish Baltic coast to the Baltic island of Usedom.
