Overland Travel Across Borders: A Tale of Two Frontiers
Grzechotki Mamonovo Bezledy Bagrationovsk EU Schengen
The border between Poland and Russia is unique, as it does not connect to the Russian mainland. Instead, the 232-kilometer frontier is with the Kaliningrad Oblast, a heavily militarized Russian exclave situated on the Baltic Sea. Your crossing here is a passage into a piece of territory with a complex and layered 20th-century history.

There are several modern road crossings, such as Grzechotki-Mamonovo and Bezledy-Bagrationovsk. These are formal and well-equipped facilities, as this is an external border of the European Union and the Schengen Area.
