Deutsch-Deutsches Museum Mödlareuth
A museum in the village recalls the border and the division of Germany. Preserved border installations (700 metres of the original wall with two observation towers, border columns and warning signs, floodlights and other relics) lie along a 4-km (2.5-mile) instructional path.
Small guest house on the Dorfteich, near the museum. Restaurant with beer garden, hot food and homemade cakes. A few cozy rooms available year-round. Elenore Müller, the landlady, has organised a Christmas market directly in front of the hotel in past years with local entertainment and vendors, baked goods and a Santa Claus.
