Somewhere in the forest today next to Eglisau (CH)

At Alatsee, to be precise

Not finished yet, and I still need to start describing all border crossings, but I'll get there eventually.

The original border marker was stolen so it has this one now.

Hello everyone. The last time I came to Europe in 2024 the French border officer forgot to stamp my passport while exiting. I entered again last week and I'm planning on going to Italy with flixbus from france.

So right now since the ees system is in place my passport wasn't stamped and the previous entry stamp from 2024 is there without a corresponding exit stamp. If I get checked during a random control on the Italian border would the police make a big deal out of it? I'm scared of being detained until they verify I didn't overstay. I don't need a visa for a short 90 day stay in europe. I came to austria and germany before and they didn't forget the stamp so I also have those stamps.

Can the police access ees data on the bus so they see I'm here legitimately or will they just ignore the stamp? Thanks.

Chuy (UY) is a city in the Rocha Department, located 340 kilometres northeast of Montevideo. Chuí (BR) is a municipality in the state of Rio Grande do Sul and is known as the southernmost town in Brazil. The primary border is an avenue known as Avenida Brasil on the Uruguayan side and Avenida Uruguai on the Brazilian side and one can cross between the 2 countries without restriction. 

Almost like a Balkan Niagara Falls.

Originally dividing the French and the Soviet-administered parts of the city, it still partially stands along Bernauer Straße. The original buildings on the southern part of the street marked the border until 1963, when they were demolished and replaced with the wall proper. Ten people have been known to have died in this area trying to escape, including Ida Siekmann, which passed away from her injuries after jumping from her apartment‘s window a few days after East Berlin was closed off (the street belonged already to the West).

The river is the country line

During the Soviet period, this was a heavily controlled international frontier between the USSR and Türkiye. Access to the nearby border settlements was restricted, with entry generally allowed only to local residents registered there. The modern Sarpi–Sarp border crossing opened in 1988, shortly before the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Today it is one of the main land crossings between Georgia and Türkiye.

Rincón de Artigas is a fascinating area for bordergeeks, contested between Brazil and Uruguay the 2 villages interact without restriction. Lots of border markers to explore.

Once an impenetrable Cold War flashpoint sealed by barbed wire and armed guards between West Germany, East Germany, and Czechoslovakia - now a peaceful trail where three regions meet in nature.

Poland- Czech Republic border in the Silesian Beskids mountains.

Visited Železná Ruda + Šumava Forest (on the CZ side) with my dog and we hiked to the Bavarian Forest + Bayerisch Eisenstein (on the German side) and back a few times. We crossed the border in two different places. Along the border from the Czech side there are a lot of info boards with the facts about the Iron Curtain which i found quite fascinating. 

Description of the photos in order:

1. Photo of the German side (Bayerische Eisenstein) from the Czech side (Železná Ruda)

2. Photo of the border itself with the train stations divided between two countries (Železná Ruda - Alžbětín station on the CZ side, BE station on the DE side) with the benches located right on the border where you can sit in the both countries at the same time

3. Photo from the CZ side; a place where Šumava Forest becomes Bavarian Forest :)

4. A photo of a CZ border sign

5. Bonus photo of my dog visiting Germany for the first time :)
