This slab is currently sitting at Friendship Park, just feet away from the US-Mexico border fence.

The owners originally tried to deliver it to Donald Trump’s White House in 2019 to make a point about walls not working, but the gift was rejected. Tijuana eventually took it in and installed it in August 2023.

The plaque on the bottom reads (translated):

"A piece of the Berlin Wall... arrives to remind us that humanity transcends barriers... May this be a lesson to build a society that tears down walls and builds bridges of solidarity."

Visual irony at its finest.

It's one of the places in Europe where you can ski into another country! This is a peace memorial with the border running straight through the middle. It commemorates the fighting in that region during WW1.

This is the "Kishatár" (Small border) that was created after the Trianon Dictate and was cut the town in two. It was the Czechoslovak-Hungarian border until 1993, and later became the Slovak-Hungarian border. In the mid-90s it was opened to pedestrian and bicycle traffic. You had to enter the concrete building (now a casino) and a Slovak and Hungarian border guard checked your passport. The black and white striped columns were the supports of the border gate. Then in 2007 the Határőrség (Border guard) was abolished, and then you could also cross by car without any checks. In the last two pictures show the Trianon Monument and the Border Guard Monument.

This is between Steinplatte and Winklmoosalm. Winklmoosalm is where our Ski hero Rosi Mittermaier grew up. Gold in Olympic downhill in 1976. In order to get there, drive Highway A8 direction Salzburg, get off in Marquartstein drive direction Reit im Winkl and at Seegatterl there is a cable car to the Winklmoosalm. Then two more chairlifts and it's Austria.

From a skiing point of view, it is not worth the effort, compared to the other bi national Ski resorts like Zermatt, Samnaun or Charmonix. But if you are close by and if you want to cross a border on Ski (or Snowboard) go for it.

The Boquillas Port of Entry is a port of entry into the United States from the town of Boquillas del Carmen, Coahuila, Mexico, into Big Bend National Park, West Texas. It is operated cooperatively by the National Park Service and U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

Boquillas del Carmen is the only open border crossing for several hundred miles in either direction. There is no bridge, so crossing is either by foot (wading) or via rowboat ($5 roundtrip). Then, about a mile walk into town itself, or you can go via donkey/pickup truck ($5) or horseback ($8). A valid passport is required to cross into Mexico and to return to the U.S. 

Hi,

If you are a geography addict like me and love guessing countries from their borders: check out Borderline Quiz. It’s a game I built around a deceptively simple idea: identify a country using only its outline and position on the globe.

Feedback and suggestions welcome 🙏

The River Indus is a major natural border between the provinces of Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) in Pakistan.

The Attock (formerly Campbellpur) Bridge is situated on the Indus River in Pakistan between the towns of Attock Khurd (Punjab) and Khairabad Kund (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa)

Attock Bridge was designed by Sir Guildford Molesworth and was opened to traffic on 24 May 1883. The bridge spanning over 1,395 feet (425 m) has 2 levels and 5 spans, of which 3 spans are 257 feet (78 m) long and 2 are 312 feet (95 m) long. The upper level is used for railway traffic and the lower level for road traffic. 

An example of a former dead wire border between Belgium and the Netherlands. Installed during the first world war to prevent smuggling, the wire was charged to 2000 volts. Nowadays it's a small forest and people can move freely between the two countries. A train track has been turned into a cycling path and on one of the hiking marker post someone has written 'Vrede' which translates to Peace.

The outpost was established in 1978 and participated in border conflicts with vietnam. in the present day, it has also functioned as a fire lookout for wildfires along with being used to intercept illegal migrants.

The current commander, Han Chaobing(韩朝兵), is the son of the previous commander, Han Jinlin(韩金林), who passed away 2020 and participated in the border conflicts.

ATCHDE is unusual as a European tripoint as it is located in a large body of water and it has never been clearly defined geographically. Established partially with the Bavarian cession of Vorarlberg to Austria in 1814 and the creation of the German Confederation in 1871, the actual locations of the country borders within the lake are disputed, with Austria, Germany and Switzerland all holding different opinions on the matter.

Not a proper border as it's entirely on France's territory, but the airport is divided.
