Re: [Cz-L] Bukowina and Galicia

After 1919 it was the Rumanian- Polish border.
 Before that it was Galicia - Bukowina , one country under
  the benevolent FranzJoseph , may he rest in peace,
  (and not to forget Lodomeria) .
  The question was if crossing these lines ,there were
   borders ?
    Like going from Tyrol to Steiermark ?
