I visited the eastern State border of Estonia 5 times and hiked along the Estonian side from the tripoint near Misso up to the end of the land border at Popovitsa near Värska. Also I hiked along the Narva river from Vasknarva via Narva to Narva Joessuu.
The visits took place in the timeframe the Estonians erected their own border markers, so the collection of my pictures contains a mixture of locations with only one border marker and locations with also an Estonian border marker.
I always contacted the State Border Guard Service long time in advance to announce and discuss my envisaged trips and they gave their advices and support. During my hikes I was in close contact with the involved Border Guard Station.
Many thanks to the Border Guard Staff in Tallinn and Tartu and to the Border Guard Stations in Luhamaa, Piusa, Saatse, Värska and Narva for their help and their cooperation!
Without their support I could never have achieved this.

<Warning
If you ever have the stupid idea to visit parts of the eastern Estonian State border, please don't do this without proper preparation:
- get in contact with the Estonian Border Guard Service first to discuss your detailled plans;
- always keep a distance of at least 10 meter from the State border;
- respect all 'SEIS' (Stop) signs;
- in all cases: be aware that the Border Guards Service has very sophisticated methods to trace you: you will only experience this whenever you break any of their rules. Big brother is watching you. Penalties are high, you will loose their good-will and their confidence. So be warned!
- never cross the State Border! The other side of this border is under control of an inhuman and rude country. If your faith is in their hands, then you are at the mercy of an army of robbers, rapists and murderers.
Border markers 12 and 13 can easily be seen and approached from the road.
And as long as 'Saatse boot' is not exchanged and become Estonian, the border markers 448, 465, 466 and 486 in the vicinity of 'Saatse boot' can also be seen from your (running!) car.
Also a high number of border markers along the Narva river is easily accessable. With binoculars you can also see the border markers at the other bank of the Narva.
I hope you will enjoy the pictures.
