Tja, that asked certainly themselves already many. If one regards this<br/>
object however somewhat more near, above all 3 land flags are noticeable to<br/>
one. The German, the French and those Schweiz.Das whole symbolized thus<br/>
meeting three countries in these Gegend.Weil on the Rhine are one of the few<br/>
cities in Germany, on which three countries border. Therefore this area is<br/>
called here also &quot; three-landhits a corner &quot;. Naturally it has also some<br/>
disadvantages (it to fall me for the moment none in, but...), but mainly<br/>
brings it advantages. E.G. Basel. For many Basel is probably the point of<br/>
main attraction abroad close. Since there is no close large city in this<br/>
area on German page, many use the small distance to Basel. One can stroll<br/>
and go shopping. There are bent lanes and imposante houses and Bauwerke.Aber<br/>
also culturally has Basel some to offer, e.g. theatre, cinema, musical and<br/>
the popular Basler Zolli, the zoo not at all far after the Basler city<br/>
boundary begins a true idyl. In the summer one can move there, and in the<br/>
winter ski drive in attendance is worthwhile itself at each season! In<br/>
addition, France has to offer some, e.g. the Vogesen, because Wanderfreunde<br/>
and ski drivers come also there fully at their expense. Above all there is<br/>
Elsass calling in the French border area - short equal two of large cities:<br/>
Mulhouse and Strasbourg. One separates three-landhit a corner only by the<br/>
boundaries (toward France are open) and by the Rhine, which is used however<br/>
by all for bathing. <br/>

Hi,<br/>
<br/>
I should probably introduce myself. My name is Robert Kerr, and I am <br/>
a Doctoral candidate at the University of Oregon studying political <br/>
geography. I have been intrigued by the quest to find a foto of the <br/>
boundary point shared by Germany, France, and Switzerland...and I <br/>
think I have found an interesting url.  It is for the region of <br/>
Dreilandereck, which is, I believe, the local name for the boundary <br/>
point.  Since the actual point appears to lie in the Rhine, the <br/>
placement of this monument interesting.<br/>
