Again a wet and swampy area with a fresh cleaned border strip.
Approaching the Pabra lake.

The usual picture: an open strip, covered with woodchips to avoid new vegetation, a stick with a small wrap, the wooden stick on the position where the Estonian marker is planned, another stick on the border and finally the old Russian marker.

A look at the south where I came from BM 31. The wooden gangway that is used for border inspection was less than 10 meters to the border to use so I was not allowed to use it. I had to struggle many puddles again.

EE-RU  20160415 Border marker 33
A bit hilly here.

EE-RU  20160415 Border marker 34
Again a gangway close to the border.
The number on the Russian marker is not visable. On the temporary Estonian stick however I coud read '34'.

A good look at the broad strip near the border line. It looks like it's maintained very well. The original idea was to have a sand strip in which you easily can notice footsteps or other marks of illegal border crossing. In these wet and woody areas it's almost impossible to construct sush a sand strip.

Here the same as at BM 35. It looks like the Russian marker is painted recently, but the number '35' still has to be sprayed.

EE-RU  20160415 Border marker 36
It looks like the Russian marker is painted recently, they also sprayed the '36'.

EE-RU  20160415 Wet border
I was so unlucky with all the water in the border area. Again I had to be very carful to avoid getting lost or drowned in the swamp...

EE-RU  20160415 Border marker 38
Woods everywhere.

A long straight line. It looks like there is a path on Russian side leading to the border.
