Very interesting concept. Perhaps Janka is also a borderfreak?
I agree with Mike about the uniqueness of this TP. I have been
there twice, and it is without a doubt my favourite. Not the least
of which is because this AT-HU is where the fall of all those
Eastern European governments began. I still would like to know where
that first snip of the HU barbed wire took place.
I like to think it was near ATHUSK.
The old fence posts, with HU flag colourings still trace the path
of the old Iron Curtain, leading to the tripoint. It is a stark,
prairie-like place -- both welcoming and lonely at the same time.
I still recall the 2001 tri-point dance: 30 border crossings in
one minute. Led by Jack.
I hope this place remains as it is. Although I do think a structure
like Janka's would be something amazing to see. Just not here!
