Ah. Yes, those. They confused me too. More images:

There were three of those smaller ones around at the
110 marker. One just 1 m north of it, another 3-4 m
north and a third 10 m (or so) to the west. Two of
them are visible on image KT_3 above. The rock in the
middle of KT_3 is the one with the 110 marker on the
opposite side.

Unless the border surveyors made a particiularly lousy
job they cannot be border markers.

If you look carefully on the Austrian border map you
will see three symbols around 110, two circles and a
triangle. Do these symbols refer to the KT-stones?

So what cound they be?

From my understanding border marking involves all
sorts of complicated geographic measurements and
calculations. Sometimes neighbouring countries'
reference grids have to be connected to eachother, and
more reference points in the vicinity of the border
need to be established.

Could they simply be geogrid reference points? And in
that case, could KT mean Kempten, which would be the
nearest town with a Vermessungsamt in it?

Anyway, there are now so many questions that another
visit seems unavoidable.

Btw, Jan has a really great idea about what we should
suggest to the Jungholz community. I hope he will take
the chance to comment on that.
