Poland - Russia II
A bit disappointed by the quick arrival in Mażucie of some border guards, I drove to Zytkiejmy. The border to Russia is easy to reach here.
There is an old road which stops at the border. In the past there was also a railway line. To avoid trouble I stayed only very short there.
I saw cameras and motion sensors. |

Old road The old road from Zytkiejmy to Яковлевка (Yakovlevka) in Russia. It's only used by farmers to reach their land and meadows. And of course, by border guards. |
|
End of the road Close to the boundary the road stops. A nice gate prevents you to drive into Russia. Rather unusual here is a fence. I only saw that in Szczurkowo, also close to a village. It's understandable that they make a fence in populated areas. At the right you can see a camera. |
|
Granica Panstwa Close to the border you often see these signs. This one has a motion detector. I saw them also during my trip earlier this year. They make a terrible noice to warn you. I don't think they are connected to any system, they look rather cheap. Time to go back to the tripoint. |
|
Small lake Some 500 meters from the tripoint I followed the border to the tripoint Poland - Russia - Lithuania. I couldn't go that close. Here a small lake with lots of birds. The lake is on the Russian side. |
|
Borderpoles 1988 Hundred meter back I found this pair 1988. Impossible to get the number on the picture: the bright sun reflected all the light on the poles. |
|
Close to 1988 From here I walked straight back to the tripoint. No border guards here. Once again it was hard and disappointing to picture the Polish - Russian border. I was fed up with it! Time now for the last border for this trip: Russia - Lithuania. |
