Map 0701-0710 Troiţcoe and the 'penis' at Carabiber. The black line displays the old USSR border.

Border crossing Troiţcoe The local border crossing for pedestrians between Troiţcoe and Vysochans'ke is closed. It looks it's closed recently. On the other side, it doesn't look very old. On an old map (1982-1991) you don't find this connection between the two villages. So it must be rather new. Once

Map A closer look at the map. First picture: OpenStreetMap which shows the current situation (2023), diplaying a white road between Troiţcoe and Vysochans'ke; Second picture: Topographic map Moldova 1981 and elaborated in 1991 when the current borders were agreed. No connection between the two villages.

|
Border crossing Vysochans'ke Also on Ukrainian side there is a closed border post. If you look at the narrow path crossing the border (second picture), it looks like the crossing is used.

Border marker 0701 Back to the bordermarkers: this one, situtated west of the border crossing covers a 90 degrees angle close to an electrity mast. I always ask myself: in which direction the electricity will flow? In Troiţcoe the border markers are close to eachother.
|
|
Intermediate bordermarker 0701-01 The border runs along the small Ukrainian village Vysochans'ke which is disconnected from Moldova by the well known wall, didge and in this case some bared wire on Moldovan side.
|
|
Border marker 0702 The same electricity cables.
|
|
Border marker 0703 Last border marker in Troiţcoe. From here the border runs in a straight line to the west.
|
|
Border marker 0704 Via some small farmer roads I could easily reach BM 0704.
|
|
Border marker 0705 The border runs along the bumpy road to the small village Carabiber. In parallel you see the Ukranian wall + didge.
|
|
Border marker 0706 Easy to follow the course of the border here. From here you see the angles of BM 0707 and 0708. You also see the long stretch to BM 0709.
|
|
Border marker 0707 The west part, so the say the glans of the penis was originally Ukrainian. When the current border was agreed, the area west of the line from BM 0707/0708 to the north became Moldovan. The old border followed the course of a creek. I indicated it on the map above.
|
|
Border marker 0708 From here the border turns to the East again.
|
|
Border marker 0709 It was quite a long hike to BM 0709 and BM 0710 as the stoney sand road leading from Carabiber to the east was too bumpy and sometimes too steep. It was however worth the hike: the reward was a beauful view.
|
|
Border marker 0710 No path or road here. From BM 0709 to here I had to follow the edge of a field. |
