&gt; In the Photos section: The first fruits of my recent DE2 border <br/>
&gt; experience (not really an expedition - I didn&#39;t cover that much of <br/>
&gt; the borders, i.c. the one between Thuringia and Bavaria in the Rhön <br/>
&gt; area).<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; It is about the strange intrusion of Thuringian territory into <br/>
&gt; Bavaria, that was known to the BGS (West German border guard) as <br/>
&gt; the &quot;Badehose&quot; (Swimming Trunks). It is located near the Thuringian <br/>
&gt; village of Frankenheim (the Bavarian territory on the other side is <br/>
&gt; part of the town of Fladungen). Because of the tininess of this <br/>
area, <br/>
&gt; it was ignored by the East German border installations. The area <br/>
was <br/>
&gt; overlooked though from a watchtower on Grabenberg hill, so <br/>
accessing <br/>
&gt; it from West Germany probably was a bad idea back then (maybe the <br/>
&gt; area was mined as well, but that I don&#39;t know).<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; I will still add a couple of other pictures there later.<br/>
