<div id="ygrps-yiv-481886528">I promised in message #4767 to post to the list any pictures of <br/>
interest from my visit to Włodawa (Wlodawa), near the PlByUa <br/>
tripoint. <br/>
<br/>
At the tourist office in Lublin, I&#39;ve found topographical maps <br/>
(1:100,000) of the area. A scan of the border at Włodawa and the <br/>
tripoint is attached. <br/>
<br/>

The other pictures:<br/>
<br/>
border area.jpg:<br/>
A look on the border area, as seen from the garden of a nearby <br/>
Russian Orthodox Church (between border markers #1137 and #1136). The <br/>
border is constituted by the river Bug.<br/>
<br/>
border marker 1137 (1).jpg:<br/>
A picture of border marker #1137 at the end of Ulica Lubelska (see <br/>
message #4767), with Belarus on the other side of the river bank (all <br/>
trees on the picture are in Belarus). <br/>
<br/>
border marker 1137 (2).jpg:<br/>
A close-up picture of border marker #1137 seen from Belarusian side. <br/>
As the border marker is a couple of metres from the river bank, the <br/>
border marker is entirely on Polish soil. <br/>
<br/>
granica panstwa (1).jpg:<br/>
A sign on Ulica Lubelska a couple of hundred metres from the border, <br/>
saying &quot;Granica Państwa&quot; (State border).<br/>
<br/>
granica panstwa (2).jpg:<br/>
A sign at the end of the paved section of Ulica Lubelska. The sign <br/>
says &quot;Rzeczpospolita Polska. Granica Państwa. Przekraczanie <br/>
zabronione.&quot; (Republic of Poland. State border. Crossing of border <br/>
prohibited.). The border marker #1137 may be seen in the background, <br/>
directly under the lower left hand corner of the blue sign.<br/>
<br/>
border marker 1136.jpg:<br/>
A close-up picture of border marker #1136, a couple of hundred metres <br/>
south of #1137. This border marker is not indicated on the attached <br/>
map. My guess is that the abbreviation _ceram._ has got something to <br/>
do with the border marker, but I&#39;ve not been able to ascertain its <br/>
meaning; it&#39;s not in the list of used abbreviations. (Any ideas?)<br/>
<br/>
sign in border area.jpg:<br/>
A sign in the border area saying &quot;Pas drogi granicznej&quot; (Border road <br/>
zone). <br/>
<br/>
A new attempt to reach the tripoint will be undertaken once the <br/>
weather conditions are less harsh. On the bright side: the tourist <br/>
map clearly shows that there&#39;s a track leading up to the tripoint!<br/>
