Polish Border Tri-Points

[kaima]

The one I am not going to is

CZ-PL-SK border tripoint (Trojmezí / Trzycatek)


CZ-PL-SK border tripoint (Czech: Trojmezí, Cieszyn Silesian: Trzycatek) - is a geographical point where the Czech Republic, Poland and Slovakia meet. Tripoint is situated between villages: Hrčava (Czech Republic), Jaworzynka (Poland) and Čierne (Slovakia). There is also a historical border between the Teschen Silesia (Poland, Czech Rep.) and Kysuce regions (Slovakia).

I will follow the sign to Certez, Rabia Skala and beyond once I reach this point.


Question: What other tri=points are there in Poland?

I have a few photos of the monument I will be able to post sometime, but they are taken in the fog of being up in the clouds in the middle of the strong wind and near horizontal rain. Then the weather got worse. Next moring I descended the mountain, the storm kept up all night and into the day, with temperature measuring in the low 30s and snow mixed in. Happily my equipment was enough to get me comfortably through. To stay up there I would have had to have my expedition equipment and a reason to be there. There was no view, so I will have to return another time. I did encounter a grave-monument to a young Red Army lieutenant who gave his life on the ridge. The area saw severe fighting in both world wars. This is where Austria=Hungary stupidly lost its professional army, some 60 percent the first 6 months, I have read. There is no end to the willingness of politicians and generals to sacrifice young soldiers for their desires.

Kai,

tri-points between Czech Re., Slovakia and Poland is still new for me. When I was walking in the mountains, I climbed the trails between Poland and Czechoslovakia usually. At least these trails are easily available, they were not guarded like our Easter boarders with Soviet Union.

I was in Polish Cieszyn maybe once. I will probably go to Slovakia this year, since we are going to Kacwin in Orawa. My friend comes from there. Check on your map.

I remember boarders with Soviet Union in Bieszczady, one could not walk there. These boarders were marked by cutting all the trees from there, so that everybody who would like to cross it.... would be caught

Probably interesting tri-boarders are also in Sudeten with Germany and Czech republic. I was there only 2 times.

Post some pictures!

here is a post by Kaima with pictures from Polish-Slovak-Czech tri border:

Kai: I wanted to post these t the public thread, but am pressed for time and a simpe thing like finding a specific topic gobbles time.



a foot bridge at the bottom of Stuzica River gorge, which I reluctantly descended about 200 meters and climbed out about 600 meters again... I don't like uphill and donwhill (steep( is not far behind! heck of a mountian hiker I am.

Here is what the Polish corner of the tri-border point looks like.
This was taken in strong wind and rain, all coming from Poland.




I may get back to try to complete the hike.

This is what my stove looked like in a PROTECTED hut. Flame normally goes up, this does not even show it going sideways!





Weather has been just fine since then, with some rain shown on forecasts for that area. I am about 200 km away now. It took 3 bus legs and about 12 Euros in tickets to get to the base of the mountain.
