Criva area: Bordermarkers 0001 - 0034
Second part of the first day on fthe first expedition to this border. We are a bit more east now. First I had the intention to hike from BM 0019 until 0032 or 0034 but without good shoes this would be a bad idea. The alternative however was excellent: the Border Guards who accompanied me told me some interesting backgrounds of the area and the border crossings.

Lipcani and Medveja. Notice the railroad which crosses the border several times.

Border marker 0019
Close to the railroad in Lipcani. The railroad is in use for freight trains between Criva where there is a big stone mine and Ukraine where the stones are used. This railroad crosses the border a few times.

Border marker 0020
At the local border crossing Lipcani-Podvirivka. This border crossing is only in use for local traffic.
Once there was a duty-free store, but it's closed now.
Not much traffic here: mainly pedestrians between the surrounding villages.
