<div id="ygrps-yiv-435342568">Attached five pics of DE2BYHETH and the HETH border a bit to the north<br/>
of this tripoint.<br/>
<br/>
To start with the latter one, the valley of the Birxgraben brook: It<br/>
can be seen that the former GDR border zone, devoid of trees, has been<br/>
reforested. The colour of the (younger) wood here is much lighter than<br/>
the surrounding wood. A is the HETH border and former Inner-German<br/>
boundary. The former treeless zone is in between A and B.<br/>
<br/>
DE2BYHETH: A quarter of the stone is Thuringian. It bears the letters<br/>
GSW (Grand-Duchy of Saxony-Weimar, one of the old Thuringian states).<br/>
Standing in Thuringia, Hesse is to your left and Bavaria to your right.<br/>
Interesting is that the Thuringian quarter has a cut-off corner. The<br/>
letters GSW and the year 1877 are on a triangle which is oblique<br/>
vis-a-vis all other (straight) sides of the stone.<br/>
<br/>
The Hessian side bears the letters KH (Kur-Hessen?), the Bavarian side<br/>
KB (Kingdom of Bavaria) and W (I think Wuerzburg, the capital of the<br/>
Bavarian district of Lower Franconia). Another side bears the letters<br/>
LG (Landesgrenze?).<br/>
