After some searching, I found that the exchange of Sidonie/U Sabotu
took place on July 25, 1997:
http://www.fss.muni.cz/projekty/stisk/issues/stisk_10_98/ . In
English: http://www.rferl.org/newsline/1997/07/3-CEE/cee-280797.html .

So in my opinion, it would be strange to find the boundary still in
the middle of the village, in that small stream. Perhaps this chapter
3 is a bit old?
