Hi boundary freaks,

As some of you may know (the GCEBE people), I am in Lublin, Poland at
the moment. The tripoint Poland-Belarus-Ukraine is not at all far
from hear, being a few kilometres south of the city of Wlodawa in
Poland. The border with Ukraine and Belarus is constituted by the
river Bug, the Ukraine-Belarus border is a dry one.

Some of us here consider going out to Wlodawa, see the well-preserved
synagogue in the town, and head for the former nazi concentration
camp site of Sobibór. And while we're at it, visit the tripoint, or
at least, get as close a look at it as possible.

Now, to my questions: does anyone know if the ByUa border in the area
is marked (is there a fence, are there border guards, that kind of
thing). And does anyone have a decent map of the area? (I may be able
to acquire some class of map at the Wlodawa tourist office, but I
think they wouldn't have a topographical map of any kind.)

In return for you help now, I'll report on the tripoint when we've
visited it :-)

-Pepijn
