A method for sensing at least one section of a delimiting border of an area to be maintained by a green area maintenance system comprising a motor scythe, a scythe position determining device for determining scythe position coordinates, and a position recording device, the position recording device being designed for recording a series of scythe position coordinates of a delimiting border of an area to be maintained, the method comprising the steps of:
- a) guiding the motor scythe along the section, the scythe position determining device being attached to the motor scythe;
- b) determining the scythe position coordinates by way of the scythe position determining device during the guiding;
- and
- c) recording the series of scythe position coordinates of the delimiting border by way of the position recording device.
