&gt;  Can anybody translate the second link (tristolicnik). Was this an<br/>
&gt;ancient tripoint or just a boundary marker? <br/>

The Three throne point, also called Three prong (tooth) point or <br/>
Říruřec (?) derives its name from a rock formation, which has three <br/>
flat stones, resembling royal thrones. Legend has it that the kings <br/>
of Bohemia, Bavaria and Austria sat on them. The look-out point and <br/>
the tourist cottage under the stones are in Bavaria. <br/>

<br/>
So it appears that this point is *not* exactly the ATCZDE tripoint, <br/>
but entirely in Bavaria. The pictures on &lt;http://www.stara-<br/>
sumava.cz/trojmezensko/trojmezi/trojmezigal.htm&gt; show the actual <br/>
tripoint:<br/>

A prominent point in the Bohemian Fores (= Šumava) is the three <br/>
border point, where the borders of Bohemia, Austria and Germany meet. <br/>
The original trilateral border stone dating from 1765 has been <br/>
replaced by new border stones. This interesting place has always <br/>
attracted hikers. <br/>
