<div id="ygrps-yiv-645928597">hi everybody<br/>
I can&#39;t believe your quick responses to my little summary of tripoints in<br/>
Europe.<br/>
At the moment I am really only interested in historical boundaries.  I<br/>
collect historic information about boundary-lines in Germany -and here<br/>
especially boundaries in Hessen-. This  ammounts to only a small part of<br/>
your &quot;Tripoints of the world&quot;.<br/>
If anybody is interested in some pictures of tripoints from 1780-1785 (long<br/>
ago, but it is very interesting for me to look at old treaties and old maps)<br/>
between the &quot;Freie Reichs Stadt Frankfurt and the Earl of Hanau and so on, I<br/>
will show you some specials later on. So its also possible for me to show<br/>
you pics from several tripoints, which today no longer exist.<br/>
So, let me know your decision, but you have to realise, that my prefered<br/>
laguage is German and my English is only good for<br/>
asking for a gin and tonic&quot; in a pub.<br/>
<br/>
Jesper, the boundary-line between BE / NL starts at no.1 near Aachen (your<br/>
Tripoint debene) und ends at no. 369 near Knkokke / Belgium. I enclose a<br/>
picture no. 369. The iron monuments bears only the arms of the Kingdoms of<br/>
Belgium, the Netherlands, 1843 for the year of delimitation and the current<br/>
numbers no. 1 til no. 369. A insign for the direction is not notified.<br/>
 &lt;&lt;NLgp369.jpg&gt;&gt; <br/>
Michael, the whole distance between no. 1 and no. 369 is more than 250<br/>
kilometers and I think that is more than 10 days walking. So try it and tell<br/>
me about your impressions while I sit in my chair, still smoking and<br/>
drinking some German white wine.<br/>
My infos about &quot;Baarle&quot; are completely out of Internet-pages, sorry.<br/>
<br/>
See you and &quot;Tschuess&quot;<br/>
