Border towns and villages

I am a huge fan of border towns and villages. This was my first border crossing by a train, from Berlin to Küstrin-Kietz (Germany) to Kostrzyn/Küstrin (Poland). I walked for around 12 km in the historical town of Küstrin, and basically roamed around the entire town visiting the landmarks - all without asking anyone routes or using a smart phone for maps. I am happy that I was not lost even at a single point. I guess I am getting used to going to a remote location and starting a random walk.
