    Spitz stands at the western end of the Wachau, where the Danube bends and the valley opens out a little. It is a small town in name and in size, about thirteen hundred people, but it carries itself like a place that has always known its worth. Painted houses front the main street, a medieval gate called the Rotes Tor stands at one end, and above the town the ruin of the Hinterhaus castle looks down from a wooded crag.

    The border here is the Morava river, which runs through flat meadows and woods, and it forms part of the frontier of the Záhorie, a region of sandy plains and pine forests between the Small Carpathians and Moravia. Until 1993 this was not an international border at all, since Czechs and Slovaks lived in a single state, and the crossing is now invisible, a bridge and a sign.
