<div id="ygrps-yiv-212016837">Last week I paid a short visit to Berlin. Not liking travelling by <br/>
coach, I took the train there, as usual. However, this was the first <br/>
day-time passing of this particular border between the twin towns of <br/>
Frankfurt an der Oder (Germany) and S³ubice (Poland), which gave me <br/>
the opportunity to scan the area for border markers. <br/>
<br/>
If you come by train, you enter Germany by crossing the Oder river. <br/>
On the German bank of the river, there is a border marker bearing the <br/>
number 482. On its Polish counterpart on the other bank, I couldn&#39;t <br/>
distinguish any number from the slow-moving train. If there is a <br/>
number on it, it must be on its backside, which can&#39;t be observed <br/>
from the train. This particular marker was not as well maintained as <br/>
the German one. It could use a fresh streak of paint, to put it <br/>
mildly. <br/>
<br/>
Now on to my question: I&#39;m sure that there are people on this list <br/>
who will have a detailed map displaying the course of the border <br/>
between Frankfurt/S³ubice. (There&#39;s a lot of water there. After <br/>
crossing the Oder river into Germany, there is more water and more <br/>
bridges. What kind of water is this?)<br/>
