Hello everybody,
conc. this Tp AtCzSk there's a mystery to
be solved:
1- my touristic map of Hohenau/March,
scale 1:10.000 indicates the proper con-
fluence of rivers March/Morava and
Thaya/Dyje as the actual tp. - whilst
2- my Austrian topomap 1:25.000 indicates
that the tp is at the point where the old
March riverbed meets the Thaya...!
My topomap clearly shows the remains
of the old March riverbed forming the
border between Sk and Cz - at the whole
length of the river...!
Both maps are quite up-to-date: the touristic
map dates 2000, while the topomap is based
on the Slovakian 1:25k dating 1988-1993 and
the Czech equivalent dating back 1992-94!
I actually phoned the mayor's office in Hohenau
where they confirmed their own touristic map,
wondering how I could possibly doubt their new
map... well:
my theory: I'm quite sure that previously this
boundary line had a purely administrative charac-
ter between the two parts of Czechoslovakia..
anyhow, when they divorced in '92, they must
have reached some kind of agreement, letting
the actual riverbed of the March/Morava forming
the boundary line (otherwise they'd end up with
some parts of their national territory unaccess-
ible from the mainland ...!)
can anyone confirm this theory...?!?
PS: This tp will be number two on our GCEBE!!
Regards from Denmark!
