Dear Cafe Goers,

From Death Strip to Green Belt: Landscapes
of Change along the Iron Curtain
For much of the Cold War, the Iron Curtain stood as a physical and ideological divide separating Europe. Today, these same borderlands are celebrated as the “Green Belt of Europe,” marked by 39 national parks and more than 3,200 protected areas. In place of the former Death Strip, the European Union has designated a 4200-mile Iron Curtain Trail in order to foster sustainable (bicycle) tourism, commemorate history, and encourage a more unified Europe. This talk highlights the changing character of the Iron Curtain borderlands, and considers the relationship between militarization, conservation, and heritage as explored from the seat of a bicycle during a two-week research ride along a portion of the Iron Curtain Trail.
