Hello everybody,
in order to reach a conclusion on the
group's
"conquest" of int'l tripoints - requested by Mike
-
here's my personal record:
Tp's visited in Europe:
1- Belgium-Germany-Netherlands near
Aachen-
pix on my
site
2- Belgium-Germany-Luxembourg confluence
of
river Our and creek
"Ribbach" : pix on my site
3- France-Germany-Switzerland in Rhine-river
N of Basel. Pix on
my site.
4- Austria-Hungary-Slovakia appr. 50 km E of
Vienna:
pix on my
site.
5- Austria-Hungary-Slovenia near
Tauka/Austria:
I remember
visiting this very lonely place back in
1962 (when living in
Graz): the very tp is marked
by a monument
similar to the Austr-Hung-Slovak.
tp. Unfortunately,
at that time I couldn't afford a
camera... this tp
will most certainly become a
target on next
year's GCEBE ! It's a very remote
place, accessible on
a track, from Tauka, about
1 hour's walk along
the Sloven.-Austr. border...
(back in 1962 the
Yugoslav border: no fences
along the Yugosl.
border, but Hungary "protected"
itself against
capitalism and imperialism by fence!!)
6- Belgium-France-Luxembourg: a few km north
of the
French town of
Longwy_: quite a sad place, lots
of industry: the tp
is very close to the French
custom house
(abandoned today because of the
Schengen agreement),
the area looks messy - I
couldn't locate the
actual tp due to lack of time...
7- Austria-Germany-Switzerland: as you probably
know,
this must be the
only Europ. tp yet undefined...!
Somewhere in the
waters of Lake Constance...
The only tp visited outside Europe:
8- Argentine-Brasil-Paraguay: also to be seen
on my site.
May I take the opportunity to wish all members of
Boundary
Point the very best for the New Year - may your
wishes come
true...!
Btw: I'll soon be back with news about next
year's GCEBE !!!
All the best - I'll be celebrating New Year's Eve
in Vienna in
the Town Hall: big party, lots of booze, music and
dance:
but don't worry: my mum will take care of
me...!)
All the best - see you(?!) in 2001 !
Peter
