... The answer is yes for the Spitzstein (although it still could be
on a municipal border - the "other side of the road" problem again),
but definitely a no for the Drei-Peterstein. The name means "Three
Peters Stone", but is more likely a wrong translation of the
French "Trois Pierres", meaning not only Three Peters, but also Three
Stones. And that's what it is. But in the middle of these three - no
doubt very old - stones, there is a more recent boundary marker, that
very really marks the boundary between Alsace and Lorraine.
