It would be nice, though. Do Danish Amter or Kommuner mark their
boundaries in any way?

In the Netherlands, it's more often that the provinces or
municipalities don't mark their borders. There are a lot of
municipality border changes or municipality mergers here all the
time, and even the provincial borders are anything but sacred. Still,
sometimes there are markers. The FRGN boundary is a nice marked one.
Harry's site testifies to it. Some municipalities do have border
markers. But sometimes these are ancient ones "re-used". But this is
not the rule, I'd say (unless someone proves me wrong - please do if
you can).

As for tripoints: Harry recorded DRFRGN and DRFROŸ, and was very
close to FLFROŸ (and seems to keep NBZHZL up his sleeve for us,
looking at his web site). As for municipal tripoints, I don't know
any. I'll check some maps I have here, maybe there are some.

Fellow Dutchmen, any additions?

Fellow non-Dutchmen, you too feel free to add anythign.....
