In chapter 3, the story of Sidonie comes up, with the czsk boundary
running through the village. But then it looks like the treaty of
1994 (see msg. 1665) was not executed, or this article is older than
it says here (1999). Acc. to the news item referred to in msg. 1665,
the entire village was awarded to the Czech rep.; Slovakia got the
village U Sabotu. Still, not having read the actual text of the
treaty, nothing's for sure here yet.
On my map (1:100000 road atlas, 1997), I can't make out whether the
boundary follows the main road of the village or the stream that runs
through the village. In both cases the boundary does run straight
through the village. The main road crosses the stream a number of
times (Sidonie is a long village, along this stream, in a hilly, not
to say mountainous, area).
A couple of years ago I passed the village by train here and was
checked by border control officers of both countries at the Vlarsky
Prusmyk (Vlarsky with acute accents on the vowels, Prusmyk with a
small circle on top of the u) railway station. If only I'd known
then, I would have taken a look there.
