like that blonde tho"

I read somewhere on the internet that there is one other obelisk, not
nearby but somewhere in a forest, barely visible from the spot with
the two obelisks that are in this picture. So maybe three indeed. On
the site of the Hrcava (caron on c) municipality, the Czech village
that is adjacent, an explanation is given about the tripoint. My
Czech is not so good that I can give a literal translation here, but
what I do get is that the tripoint is a wet one, in a brook and that
this was the reason the tripoint could not be marked by a single
marker. That brook is in between the two markers that are near to one
another (see also for ex.
http://carolina.mff.cuni.cz/~vitas/pikomat/1996/f01/24hrcava.html ).
I have asked Pepijn (who can understand Czech a lot better than I
can) if he can have a look at this Hrcava website (at
http://www.volny.cz/obec.hrcava/ , if anyone is interested and speaks
Czech - click on Trojmezí), and possibly but something of a
translation here on BP. He'll do it for sure, but I don't know how
busy he is right now, so it could take some time).

PS I wonder whether that blonde can stay until Peter H. c.s. visits
the spot this summer...
