Hi Michael, thanks for your nice remarks they warmed my heart...
The promised list on Tps in Europe is "under construction", it will be submitted shortly...Conc. Jesper: no problems, he's fine, I'll be seeing him at the end of August when we shall be working on my homepage... for the time being he might be busy having family on visit..- and problems with his PC..
Conc. Tp Sw-Ge-Fr north of Basel:  I checked your links to previous discussion on this very Tp and came to the following conclusion:
Mess. 33 contains a very detailed map, but does NOT show the actual TP-monument. The word "Dreiländerecke" just points out the actual Tp on the map - but: since this point lies in the middle of the Rhine, any monument would be of great disturbance for the large number of ships passing by...! Robert's mess. no. 41 contains a picture of the actual monument which I visited and photographed some years ago. I'm very much convinced that the exact position of this monument is on ""Westquai-Strasse" in Basle, a street leading to the embarkment place for Rhine vessels...!
Bill: you asked about a translation from German for this site - it's a description of the touristic area of Weil (the German border town north of Basle) and adjacent Basle and mentions the "Dreiländerecke" as a kind of touristic spot to be visited only ,nothing more...
 
Conc. Tp Austria-Switzerland-Germany in Lake Constance:
I do NOT know the "whole truth" about this point, there might be a buoy marking the exact position of the Tp - but I'll find out contacting local tourist authorities..!
 
Exact number of Tps visited: Europe: 8, South America: 1 (Par-Bra-Arg) at the
Iguazu Falls...
I'll be back soon... !
Peter
