Jan S. Krogh's Geosite: Kul'kishki (BY) – Sakaline (LT)
Divided Village
Kul'kishki in Byelorussia and Sakalinė
in Lithuania was one village until the Schengen border fence came showed
up around 2003. The village(s) are located on the border between South
East Lithuania and West Byelorussia. Now there are two separate
villages, well – almost two separate – because people has still
contact with each other every day. Some are even close relatives,
separated by the Schengen boundary. The picture show two houses, A and B where two close relatives
live. Also a blue stroke shows the former main street of the joint
village.
