Criva area: Bordermarkers 0001 - 0034
On the first day of my visit of the northern border between Moldova and Ukraine (16.04.2019) I visited the area of Criva at the border crossing Criva-Mamaliga .
The weather was bad: rain and sometimes snow. I had no good shoes or clothes to go into the fields: my suitcase missed the connecting flight from Vienna to Chișinău and arrived at the end of the day. So I visited only some easy to reach border markers. I was accompanied by some very friendly and enthousiastic Border Guards from the Poliția de Frontieră.

Before going to the border at Criva, I had to visit the headquarters of the Poliția de Frontieră Direcția regională Nord in Edineț. A kind guy called Victor took care of me and arranged all the permits and the visits to the different areas on the different days. He was of great help and support!
On the area of the headquarters I saw this nice wall board which summarizes the activities, the field and the image of the Poliția de Frontieră.

Border marker 0004 I missed. According to the Border Guards it was hard to reach due to the mud after heavy rains.

Border marker 0001
From the tripoint in the river Prut until here is only about 100 meters.
A small path which ended here took us there.

Between the railroad and the border crossing Criva-Mamaliga. There is a small path on the Moldovan side from the border crossing leading to the course of the border.

Close to the border crossing Criva-Mamaliga which is used for international border crossing.

Border marker 0005
BM 4 was hard to reach due to bad roads and mud. BM 0005 we could reach by car via small, bad and muddy roads.
Both Moldova and Ukraine maintain their border markers very well. On the Moldovan pillars sometimes the national coat of arms is missing.

From 0005 to 0006 there was also a small bad road but my Dacia Logan could face it.
