In the Gangwon DMZ Museum, another partner of HSF, the newly opened permanent special exhibition on the inner-German border area, could be seen. Noh Yeon-Su, curator in the museum, also showed the exhibition of the Korean DMZ, featuring the time from war, destruction and terror to the development of a refugium for rare fauna and flora in the DMZ today and the hope for cross-border peace. Dr. Wolf handed over an old map of East Berlin to the museum. A view over the border to the North, including the famous Kumgangsan mountains and Haegumgang, the rocks reaching into the East sea, was as well part of the program as a visit to the famous Geonbongsa Temple of Goseong.
