<div id="ygrps-yiv-156710336">These pictures are from the bridge between Keppeshausen (D) and<br/>
Stolzembourg (L) across the Our. On the German bridgehead, there is a<br/>
little building, that possibly used to be the customs house, but<br/>
nowadays is a tourist information office (a pity it was closed when I<br/>
was there). On the side of the little building facing us is a stairway<br/>
towards the water. Much to my surprise it was there that I found one of<br/>
these well-known D/DL shields, put up against the wall of the building<br/>
(2nd picture). This means that the building straddles the border, and<br/>
is partly in Germany, partly in the condominium! This was confirmed by<br/>
the position of the other D/DL shield, on the other side of the bridge.<br/>
Note that the boundary is not really the edge of the river Our here,<br/>
judging by the vegetation below…<br/>
