Looking East towards The Netherlands. It looks as if this never was a busy border crossing. There is just a parking lot left on the German side. I couldn't identify any official customs buildings or tollgates. Were they ever here ? The EU-borders were abolished in 1993. |
Looking West towards Germany. A German marker says that the border is 15,6 km from where ?
The border, looking North. On the left is Holland (East). On the right of the bushes is Germany (West). The border is indicated by a shallow ditch and a shallow mound, overgrown with brambles and bushes.

The official border marker is extremely well
hidden. It took me a lot of bramble scrapes to
get close to it so I could read the number. 160 XI - Hooray! I still don't know if there is any system in the numbering. I have to do some historical research. It should be interesting. |
A very photogenic Dutch pumping installation. It reminds me of Robert Smithson's eassay "A tour to the monuments of the Passaic." It said: "Quicksand, danger of drowning."
 |
A German pumping installation. Of course it
is provided with a lot of warning signs and
typically German legislature. Explosion! No smoking, no fire! Gründlich! |
