Step into the world where borders blur and cultures intertwine! Join me on an enchanting journey through cross-border towns nestled between Germany-Poland and Germany-Switzerland.
How former single settlements became separated by borders, evolving into distinctly different entities on each side?
Explore the post-war transformation along the German-Polish and German-Swiss border that divided some settlements into two parts in different countries. Experience the once-divided towns that now thrive as interconnected communities within Schengen agreement, inviting you to traverse freely between countries.
Laufenburg, Rheinfelden, Gubin - that's only a few towns from the list that we talk about in this video.
In our short tour around Basel, discover the German railway station located in Switzerland, a unique airport that is governed by two countries (and even having borders inside of the airport terminal), and even cross-border city tram routes that operate from one country to another like a regular city tram.
Experience the seamless transition between Konstanz and Kreuzlingen, where borders intertwine within streets and parks, beckoning you to stroll effortlessly between countries.
Join us in embracing a world where borders dissolve, architecture stands as a testament to history, and peace reigns supreme.
