5: CASE STUDY 2: THE CZECH/AUSTRIAN BORDER way the former roads became the patrol paths that followed the fence line. The length of these paths along the former fence line were tarmacked apart from two sections: one on the slope directly west of the river Dyje and one section between Čižov and Lukov. At this latter section 8 cast iron rods, 0.11 m wide, were discovered along the path at the steep slope through the valley between Čižov. The rods either functioned on their own to provide grips for safe walking up and down the slope when the ground was wet or they were part of a larger step construction. One suggestion that there had been iron steps up and down these hills could not be confirmed and no other traces were found.

In some areas the fence line was diverted from the earlier roads in order to reach a more direct route. Although a large section of the fence line between Vranov nad Dyji and Čižov follows an older road in one section it takes a more direct route, rising sharply upwards until it again meets the old Vranov to Čižov road again at the top. Today there are some stone boulders placed at the start of this path trying to discourage people from using it. This direct route up the hill is also not indicated as a path on the park’s official tourist map. As with most of the former patrol roads along the former fence line this path has been reinforced by asphalt. On my right side 149
AN ARCHAEOLOGY OF THE IRON CURTAIN as I walk up the hill is the by now so familiar corridor of younger trees stretching out 3–4 m until more mature trees take over. Two faint ridges run parallel with the path in the middle of this corridor. These were created as the fences were pulled up and out of the ground, subsequently keeping their form due to water running down the hill. Directly at the start of this path at its bottom there is a drain constructed in concrete with a wire frame over it to guide the water coming down from the hill away from the patrol path. As I walk up the hill concrete supports for poles or fences and former electricity or telegraph poles cut off near the ground start to appear. It takes me a while to spot the sawn off poles as they have started to assimilate into the background, their colour similar to the trees around it and the moss slowly growing in the circles middle (Figure 66). On the opposite slope as the fence line ran westwards from the river Dyji towards Podmyče I encounter a completely different picture. This is the second section of the former patrol path along the fence line that does not appear to have been tarmacked. Here the stunted growth of trees is the only sign of the former fence line. There are no signs of a path. A single section of an electricity or telegraph pole is lying on the ground here (Figure 67).
