Intent: To start at Rehau and cross border to As/Asch.
14:00 Arrived Rehau.
14:20 Entered Rehauer Forst.
Made diversion to look at border zone.
16:00 Arrived Reuth.
Looked at foothpath crossing border.
Farmer was watching me so took pictures and returned to road.
Walked along road following cycle route 'O'.
Found another patrol hut with dog kennel.
Looks a bit unused.
16:30 Crossed border through woods.
Track on Czech side is newly made tarmac. I suspect that this
is patrolled.
17:15 Arrived Pastviny.
18:30 Arrived Podhradi.
There is a railway station here that looks derelict.
This is where I had planned to end journey, but there was no
chance of catching train, so i walked to As/Asch.
I later found that this line is active and trains are every couple of hours.
20:00 Arrived As/Asch.
Avoid lines of drift (roads, railway, paths) and
plan routes tangentially to them.
Obtain local currency before entering country.
Assume lines of drift (road, railway) are patrolled
either by uniformed of plain clothed security.
Do not travel on lines of drift that cross border.
Do not hitch hike near border.
Recomend waterproof socks if using sandals in
undergrowth to avoid ticks.
Bad weather provides better cover.
Donbt run if seem, as you will probably be shot.
