WOP post in Pokrzywna, Military border post in Pokrzywna, Poland.
The WOP facility contains multiple buildings and observation points positioned along the mountain ridge for monitoring cross-border movements between Poland and Czechoslovakia.
Established in 1946 as part of Poland's post-war border protection strategy, this military installation operated continuously until the dissolution of border controls in 1989.
The border post reflects the Cold War period when strict military surveillance and control measures defined the relationships between Eastern European countries.
Located at coordinates 50.28265 latitude and 17.473211 longitude, the former military compound stands near hiking trails leading to Biskupia Kopa mountain.
The post maintained its operational status through two distinct border arrangements, first with Czechoslovakia until 1989 and later with the Czech Republic until 2001.
