Železná Ruda-Alžbětín / Bayerisch Eisenstein Border Station

Historically a shared station between Germany and the Czech Republic, with the national border running through the middle of the building.

Opened in 1877, the station served as a junction between the Bavarian Forest Railway and the railway line from Pilsen to Markt Eisenstein.

After World War II, the station was divided by the Iron Curtain, but reopened to international trains on June 2, 1991.

Horni Planá (CZ) - Ulrichsberg (DE)

Bordercrossing

Dreissesselbergstrasse Neureichenau

At the bordercrossing between Austria and Germany at the 'Dreissesselbergstrasse'

I found 2 BM's H3. Driving from Germany

on the right side of the road

behind the guardrail. Both placed in 1960

says this website: https://www.strassenkatalog.de/osm/h_3_b_1960_,897109256n.html

Zadní Zvonková - Schöneben (AT)

The actual border here is brook 'Rotbach'.


While traveling through Czech, we passed this border and we saw just one BM: I-34

Former customspost, now apartments.

Looking to Austria.

View on Austria.

On the otherside of the border,

looking to Cz,

left of the bridge, BM I-34.

Valtice - Schrattenberg (ATCZ)

Just behind Valticea (Cz), we passed this bordercrossing and found a twin BM,
with the different numbers: X-17/6 and  X-18.

BM on the left side.

Now on the rightside in the high grass.

BM X-18

The other one, opposite of the road

BM X-17/6.

Lanžhot (CZ) - Kúty (SK)

If you are close to a border, it might be logical to visit it. In this case the border between Lanžhot (Cz) - Kúty (Slo).

The two border guards/policemen present, couldn't tell us if there would be any BM.

The bridge over the river Morava, with actualy is the border.

On the otherside: Slovensko Republic.

Yellow bordermarks on the road.

Here we find BM S 31

on Slovenian side.

BM C 31 (on Czech-side) is exact

on the other side of river Morana.

In one shot both BM's.

Some mtrs. after C 31,

we find a marker with nr. 79.

We think it's for shipping.

Dolní Dvořiště (CZ) - Wullowitz (AT)

On our way to Austria we stopped at the border of Dolní Dvořiště (Cz) - Wullowitz (At).


Good to see that it used to be a border full off checks.

At the border we spotted 4 bordermarkers:
∆ III 28/16
∆ III 29
∆ III 30/1
∆ III 30/2

Some oldtimers at the tankstation, just in front of the borderpost.

View over de borderpost

BM III-28/16, rather small BM.

BM-29, is a rather tall BM.

and is only 2,5 away from BM III-28/16.

Both visible, with something of

electricity in the middle.

BM III-30-1, standing in between two

former bordercrossingroads.

BM III-30-1, view into Czech.

The tree BM's in 1 shot/view.

Opposite way, entering Czech, with BM III-30-2.

Boundary stone of the Margraviate of Moravia

Detailed info on the Boundary stone of the Margraviate of Moravia

Even before 900 there was a Great Moravian Empire, so called after the river Morave.


The Margraviate excists since 1182. Untill 1918 (end WW I and end of Austria-Hungaria). It has been under many Kings and bishops. For a long time the Moravian were loyal to the Luxembourg.


Since 1918 Moravia is part of the

Czech Republic, so decided by the

Treaty of Saint-Germain.

Detailed info on the Boundary stone of the Margraviate of Moravia

Historic border stone - a landmark, marking the border of the Margrave of Moravia. The stone stands by the Border Road and the 4th Moravian Trail near the Czech-Slovak-Austrian Triple Border. The historical boundary stone - the landmark was planted in 1775 during the reign of Empress Maria Theresa to mark the border of the Margraviate of Moravia.

Detailed info on the Boundary stone of the Margraviate of Moravia

We biked to the stone from a parking at road 425. A nice bikepath lead us through a National Park to this former border marker. Single route it was almost 12 km.

and a railway museum.

Marker near the entrance of the museum

and one opposite of the frontdoor.

A name we see often in more languages near the borders.

On Czech-side a replica of the

Iron curtain is build. It's like we see at

the NL/BE border, where the

'Doodendraad' (1914-1918) has it's rebuilds.

altitude of the railwaystation.
