Description
The former Kuenringer town of Gmünd presents itself to its visitors with a multifaceted offer. The Old Town Hall dominates Gmünd's town square, which offers a magnificent view of the unique sgraffito houses and a wonderful ambience for strolling and lingering. The entire town square is now a listed area. Until 1989, the Iron Curtain divided the two towns of Gmünd and České Velenice. Gmünd was a divided city, similar to Berlin. Except that there was no wall between Gmünd and Ceske Velenice, but a barbed wire fence and watchtowers. The border ran through the middle of the town, sometimes even through houses, and the route leads north from Gmünd.
