 previous page next page  |
| The
main focus of my project are the numbered esfr-bordermarkers, fitting
in the 1-602 sequence. Unnumbered
bordermarkers and crosses on the current esfr-borderline are included when information is available. But there's more to find along the border: other objects and signs which mark the border |

| This page: the bordermarkers in bordertunnels. Apparently it's custom to to mark the borderline with plaques at the tunnelsides. |
 There are five cross-bordertunnels, in the Pyrenees: from W to E:- the Somport-tunnel for motorcars, opened in 2003 - the Somport railway-tunnel, in use from 1928 until 1970 - the Bielsa-tunnel (motorcars), opened in 1976 - the dual-tube railwaytunnel underneath Le Perthus, in use since 2010 - the railway-tunnel of Cerbčre-Portbou, opened in 1876 |
 The two plaques in the Somport-tunnel. Pictures made by Jacques Koleck. |
 The derelict international railway-tunnel underneath Col de Somport between Pau and Canfranc.It's unknown if there's a plaque or any other kind of bordermarker is this tunnel. |
 The plaques in the Aragnout-Bielsa-tunnel. The pictures were made by Jean Sermet, the great border-commissioner. |
 The tunnel du Perthus was built for the high-speed trains which were to link Perpignan and Barcelona. It consists of two tubes.Tube 1: these are plaques in tube 1 |
 Tube 2: and these are the plaques in tube 2. |
 The international tunnel des Balitres between Cerbčre and Portbou. It's unknown if there's a plaque or any other kind of bordermarker in this tunnel. |
