Hi everybody!
Remember our concern about Lake Constance... it wasn't quite
clear wether this tripoint GeSuAt was officially recognised...
Now I have officiaL PROVE that this is not the case, in other
words - this must be the only tripoint in Europe that can't be
spotted...! If in doubt there's a link to the official Austrian carto-
graphers organisation:
www.bev.gv.at/prodinfo/staatsgrenzen/staatsgrenze_3f.htm
 
This document is in German. They make a clear statement about
the non-existance of an officially recognised border agreement on
Lake Constance. ...!
 
Mike, this must be the ultimate challenge for us next year:
we could rent a boat, and by approaching this nonexisting tripoint
we could either set a buoy with our names marking this tp forever
or cast a wreath into the waves ... and have a glass of scotch.
This cries for celebration.!
All the best
Peter
