MODERATORS
Crossing unmanned border checkpoints when hiking or cycling is pretty common and was generally tolerated, at least in pre-Schengen Europe. There's also loads of abandonded border crossings similar to this, even between Schengen states.
I'm also not so sure wether they were actually unaware of the rules - it looks like the next border crossing is 20km away, maybe they just didn't want to take the detour.
