Interesting comments. Thanks. You ask:
"but how close did these 3 heads of state you saw there
or any of the other celebrants then come to actually
reaching this inconveniently wet 3state point of
theirs"
Actually closer than you think! A temporary bridge was constructed
across the Neisse River that passed within a metre of the tri-point.
Not actually over it, but pretty close. The bridge was there for
about a week, but only open for public use between midday on 30
April 2004 and the evening of 1 May 2004. A second small temporary
footbridge was constructed over the Neisse tributary stream that
divides CZ from PL.
