Thanks a lot. I have read the German explanation at
http://www.luzicke-hory.cz/td06.html and can now pinpoint it on a
map. It is indeed an old, but also a new tripoint. The old tripoint
is between the cities of Zittau, Rumburk, and Zákupy (German name
Reichstadt). These last two cities are the Czech ones, the first one
is German.
Nowadays, it is a secundary tripoint CZDE2LIUSSN (Liberec - Ústí nad
Labem - Saxony). In the text on the website, the names of the Czech
districts are mentioned, but these are tertiary entities. Luckily
(for us), the districts involved are part of different regions.
