Transcript:

Russia's border with Estonia is a treasure trove of border oddities.

It seems that in August 1991, when Estonia broke away from the USSR, they drew their border in a rush. Here, west of Lake Pihkva, Russia's Dubki Village is landlocked by Estonia and almost blocked on the water. To visit this village, you need either a boat or a visa.

Moving south, we encounter the Saatse Boot, a unique area of land belonging to Russia. What makes it special is that a small section of an Estonian road goes through it for 1 km. There is no border control on this section, but stopping or disembarking is forbidden.

Moving south again, there’s this Russian panhandle pushing deep into Estonia. Its shape speaks for itself. What other border oddities do you know?
