tripoint. Switzerland, France, Germany
thanxx romain
very nice
2 chdefr for the price of 1
but it
appears this de jure 1871chdefr1919 tripoint
again served as the de facto
1940chdefr1944 tripoint
as well
you're right ! Don't forget also that this
international tripoint began is existence in 1871 because before this date, the
"territoire de belfort" was attached to Alsace.
you may also be said to have visited
all
together
chfr2alfcju3hrpotb
even if that is technically more long winded
than
really necessary
It's hard to decode, but I understood
!
&
regarding the present & much shorter chdefr
tripoint
near basel
which you presented in the previous post
since
you evidently crossed the rhein to take your pix
not necessary, I live on this part of Rhein
;-)
If I understood the question, I never swim or
boat in the Rhin river. I just (often) crossed it by car on the two nearliest
bridge betwenn Village-Neuf (F) and Weil-am-Rhein (D) and sometime by the swiss
bridge (Road n° A3) in Basel.
i have only a question of whether you tried for
& how close
you may have come to reaching
the actual tripoint
in the navigation
channel
whenever you did swim or boat or drive or walk across
or
however you did do that
for depending on your answer
you appear to
be registering our closest reported
chdefr visit to date.
Hoping visit it and other tripoint again.
I promise more pix when the futur bridge (very near the tripoint) will be
finished.
I hope to find the other former tripoint
of Alsace-Lorraine/Elsass-Lothringen, in north, limit with Luxemburg, between
the towns of Russange (57, F [ex-D]) ; Rédange (54, F) and Belvaux
(L).
