Danke!

PS: Anton, haben Sie zufällig Bilder der alten Zollgrenze des
Kleinwalsertals? Darauf stand: Halt! Zollgrenze! oder so ähnlich. Wäre eine
Erinnerung an meine ersten Bergtouren Anfang der 50er Jahre

"Achtung Lebensgefahr
Wirkungsbereich
sowjetzonaler Minen"

Rough translation:
"Attention! Mortal danger!
operating area of

PS: I am one of the silent readers you mused about earlier. I do not
like having to justify every single posting as to
its "multipointing" relevance, although I am taking the risk now
(waiting to be ripped apart by the self appointed enforcer of rules
of the Donner Party, formerly known as BoundaryPoint).
