<div id="ygrps-yiv-913788347">The second series of three starts with the border crossing between Roth<br/>
an der Our (D) and Vianden (L). The boundary marker next to the<br/>
Luxembourg shield is no. 21. The boundary crosses the road here at<br/>
right-angles or close to it, then turns to the north and follows the<br/>
right edge of the road for a couple of metres, up to boundary marker<br/>
no. 22, which is just visible. After that, the boundary turns away from<br/>
the road.<br/>
<br/>
The second picture is that of boundary marker no. 47 between Vianden<br/>
and Bivels. It can be reached, but not without difficulty, via a small<br/>
opening in the shrubs next to the western head of the bridge across the<br/>
Vianden reservoir. It marks the start of the condominium to the north,<br/>
after it has been interrupted by the Vianden area. The bridge misses<br/>
this point by no more than 2 to 3 metres.<br/>
<br/>
The third is the point where the Sauer reaches the Moselle. The<br/>
boundary marker in the foreground bears the no. 10, and stands in<br/>
Oberbillig (D). On the other side of the Moselle, to the right is<br/>
Wasserbilligerbrueck (D), to the left Wasserbillig (L). At the left<br/>
edge of the picture a big map of the country of Luxembourg can be seen.<br/>
We travelled from Wasserbillig to Oberbillig on a tiny (but<br/>
international!) ferry (no more than four cars at a time), that reaches<br/>
shore some 50 metres to the left of this picture.<br/>
<br/>
The boundary markers along the delu condominium have no other than an<br/>
indicative function; the real boundary is at the edge of the water. You<br/>
can see this on bridges: at the bridgehead there is a boundary marker,<br/>
but further on, where the bridge crosses the edge of the water, there<br/>
is a little shield that is really on the boundary.<br/>
