On a recent trip to the Devin castle ruins I took these photos of a commemorative monument which was erected only last year. The Devin castle ruins is also the place where the Danube and Morava rivers come together. On the other side of these rivers is Austria, which was of course a free country during the communist years. If you were Czechoslovakian during the communist years this was one of the best places to attempt to gain your freedom. If you could manage to get across these rivers you were home free.
