Ceský Tešín and Cieszyn, a town divided by the PL-CZ border, but there is a railway line. Today I aim to work out if there's potential to improve it. Then onwards to the borders north of Čadca (SK) - the best SK-PL border crossing, mostly because all the others are terrible! #CrossBorderRail

Here's today's #CrossBorderRail music track

Drinking Song
Adam Makowicz

The singer born in today's Czechia in Hnojník near Ceský Tešín, is Polish, lives in Canada - that's a good story!
