&gt; I took time to follow the entire route of the two parts of the<br/>
&gt; condominium from the Luxembourg map site, and found that to the north<br/>
&gt; of Vianden, in the northern detached part of the condo territory,<br/>
&gt; there is an island.<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; Near (south of) Wasserbillig, in the southern sector of the condo,<br/>
&gt; there appears to be a part of the river that shifted or at low water<br/>
&gt; at least, doesn&#39;t fill the river bed allocated to it.... the border<br/>
&gt; varies a lot in that area from what is shown as &quot;wet&quot;.<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; It&#39;s interesting to follow the border lines - especially in the two<br/>
&gt; places where there is a confluence of the three rivers that comprise<br/>
&gt; the condominium. You tri-pointers would have a ball.  One river comes<br/>
&gt; in from the west in Luxembourg proper in the northern end and another,<br/>
&gt; the Mosel / Moselle comes in from being wholly in Germany in the east.<br/>
&gt;  The town of Vianden (Lux), being on the east of the river, forces a<br/>
&gt; split of the condo into two parts, bercause as the river passses<br/>
&gt; Vianden N-S, it&#39;s wholly in Luxembourg; each end of the split has it&#39;s<br/>
&gt; DE-LUX-Condo tripoints, too.<br/>

& found the aerial pix even better than the topos for spotting islands<br/>
but you must also recall our previous balls at these tripoints too in<br/>

if not all the antecedent messages referred to in it<br/>
& the responses linked beneath them all<br/>
<br/>
quite a load of data there if you or anyone is really interested<br/>
<br/>
or just for the nutshell<br/>

first question & answer only<br/>
<br/>
to which i would only add at this point on further reflection<br/>
that i think all the condo markers must be indirect or witness monuments<br/>
since the legal riverbank limits of the condo are evidently accreting & decreasing every <br/>
which way all the time with every change in the levels of the rivers<br/>
& that the condo borders are thus in fact not static <br/>
as they would have been if the markers were direct<br/>
but are always in flux with the actual waterlines on the banks<br/>
<br/>
or isnt that legally & definitively so</div>
