Signs with the emblems of Moravia and Silesia on the way from Ostravice to Lysá Hora

 At the beginning of March 2018, three tourists from Poruba took a train trip to Ostravice. From there, they went from the railway station in Ostravice to Bezruč's cottage on Lysá Hora. Right at the beginning of the journey, they took pictures on the bridge over the river Ostravice with signs with the emblems of Moravia and Silesia. Marks here announce the land border on the river Ostravice.

 

From the text on the page After the Bear's Paws we learn that: "After all, the ancient border between Moravia and Silesia crosses today's Ostravice exactly as the river of the same name meanders. Today it is also reminded to visitors of this mountain village, because on every bridge over the river enamel plates with historical emblems of both countries, ie Moravia and Silesia. As if you crossed the real border of two countries."

A comparison with the designation of the land border between Bohemia and Moravia near Sirákov is offered. There are used texts Welcome to the Kingdom of Bohemia and Welcome to the Margraviate of Moravia referring to historical lands (historical state formations in the territory of today's Czech Republic).

The centenary of the founding of the Czechoslovak Republic is here, so it is advisable to decorate your clothes with a decent badge in state colors during any walk, which was reported in the article Three common colors of tricolors, three of our historical countries, one beautiful republic.
