by a boundary marker of the standard type, but it is still there. It stands in the border village of<br/>
Overslag, and as I recall it has the name Oostenrijk (=Austria) on it at the Belgian side. So the<br/>
stone probably dates back to the 18th century, when this part of Belgium (actually, most of it) was<br/>
part of the Austrian empire. Hopefully Eef can make a picture of it when he&#39;s coming to this one on<br/>
one of the next stages of his journey...<br/>
