Map 0081-0090 From Bulboaca via endless fields to the next village Clocușna.

Border marker 0081 The last border marker of our march 2025 expedition. Before the Soviet Union fell, this was a main road, but now it is closed. There is no traffic, the road is not maintained and is blocked. A rather sad sight. Next Moldova - Ukraine expedition: August 2025 |
|
|
Border marker 0082 In Augsut 2025 the area looked very green. In the late afternoon sun I found this pair betrween the fields.
|
|
|
Border marker 0083 On Ukrainian side a fresh ditch.
|
|
|
Border marker 0084 At every border marker there is an open space in the bush.
|
|
|
Border marker 0085 Still in the afternoon sun. When I was finding a good postition for a picture an Ukrainian border guard who came out of nothing saw me from a distance: "Контроль?" he asked. "Да, контроль!" I answered quickly. I wore blue pants and a blue polo shirt, so I guess he assumed I was a Moldovan colleague.

Border marker 0085-05 Beautiful view in the late afternoon into Ukrain. On the background fields with sun flowers.
|
|
|
Border marker 0086 The border makes a sharp angle here The border runs through a low and wet part full of reed.
|
|
|
Border marker 0087 The start of the second day of the August 2025 expedition. Again huge fields on both sides of the border.
|
|
|
Border marker 0088 From 0087 to here I had to hike as the farmers road ended there. Again a nice view. Strange enough at BM 0087 and BM 0088 the border is a straight line. A bit up to the north, the border makes an angle which is only covered by a intermediate marker.

|
|
Border marker 0089 Back to the first expedition in April 2025: We started at this border marker pair along the closed road between Clocușna and Hvizdivtsi. When we arrived here, two of Igors colleagues with a Kalashnikov appeared. They were talking while I was taking some pictures. I wonder when this road was closed. In 1991 Moldova and Ukraine got independent from the Sovjet Union. I guess the road was closed shortly after these independencies like the road at BM 0081.

|
Border marker 0089 (2) In summer 2025 I visited this marker in Clocușna as well. The area changed. On Ukrainian side extra bared wire.
|
|
|
Border marker 0090 The border runs short along the Ukrainian village Hvizdivtsi.
|
|
|
Border marker 0090-01 Some very old and creaky fence with bared wire has to prevent you from illegal border crossing. On the background a sandy road, not a sand strip. You don't see that much sand strips here. On the second picture my guide Igor. |
