Hi Peter

Nice pictures of the new borders in the "new" East. I remember once a programme on tv of the border split of Czechoslovakia, but have not been able to find anything on the new, perhaps you can find something, as you master German, and it could be a site in German.

Subject: [BoundaryPoint] some nice links - and an internat. quadruplet-point !

Hi everybody - by surfing around last night I found two very exiting sites that might interest you all:

1-    The university of Tuebingen/Germany did some interesting research on                "Grenzstädte", border towns in Eastern Europe and the impact of new

       boundary lines in the new countries that were established after the collaps

       of the Sovjet Union.

       a- there's a nice picture of the new Estonia-Latvia boundary dividing the town

           of Valga/Est.-Valka/Latvia.

       b- another interesting photograph shows the River Narva, forming the border

           between the towns of Narva/Estonia and Iwangorod/Russia.

    These pictures can be seen on:

    www.uni-tuebingen.de/uni/egi/prof/oeuropa/project/grenzstadt.html

2-    Up to now, the only quadruplet-point I knew of was the UT-AZ-NM-CO point        in the US - but: does anybody know the following quad-point:

       Botswana-Namibia-Zambia-Zimbabwe near the town of Kasane not far from            the Victoria Falls...!? I could kick myself in a certain place for not making any

       research when I visited Vic Falls 20 years ago...pity!

       A nice map can be seen at: www.mms-spiess.ch/Bilder/Botswa1.jpg

Bye for now

Peter
