<div id="ygrps-yiv-1064367262">The September 2006 issue of hidden europe magazine has an article on the art of bagging tripoints. The tripoint and quadripoint examples it includes are possibly well worn examples,&nbsp;many surely&nbsp;well-known to members of this forum. But it does include a report from the point, southeast of Myslowice in southern Poland, where a hundred years ago the territories of three great empires met at a tri-point. The <em>Dreikaiserreichs Ecke</em> is nowadays a rather forlorn spot, but there was a time when visiting this tripoint was seen as a curious excursion. There are many late nineteenth century postcards of the spot, many including images of the Kaiser, the Tsar and the Austrian Emperor.

The magazine has regularly carried articles on aspects of life in any around European borders.</div>
