Yes, the BeNe border is much less obvious than the DeNe and BeDe borders,
and does indeed folow the Gp/Ga stones.
The dreistein is the tripoint. The BeNe border runs west from this.
A few hundred metres down the BeDe border, which runs between Belgian woods
and German pasture, the border makes a sudden long thin rectangular salient
into Belgium, stones 1024,1025 and 1026.
When I was there last year, this salient was wooded for its furthest half,
and fenced off, so that the pasture extended only half way into it, unlike
depicted on the map. At 1024 and 1026 there are turnstiles to allow cyclists
and wlakers along the dirt track that follows the boundary from the tripoint
and cuts across the salient. The salient itself is a re-entrant (a miniature
valley), so the German bit is the floor of this small reentrant and the
sides are Belgian.
