As the train passes over the Dniestr/Nistru River, after a stop in Bender, an Ottoman-era fortress can be seen. Its history includes being used as a refuge by Charles XII of Sweden in the 18th Century. Bender is situated on the right (West) bank of the river in a Security Zone where the ceasefire is supervised by the Joint Control Commission. The OSCE Mission to Moldova takes part as an observer and helps to mediate disputes.
