Historic Tripoint: Russia / Germany / Austria-Hungary

The September 2006 issue of hidden europe magazine has an article on the
art of bagging tripoints. The tripoint and quadripoint examples it
includes are possibly well worn examples, many surely well-known to
members of this forum. But it does include a report from the point,
southeast of Myslowice in southern Poland, where a hundred years ago the
territories of three great empires met at a tri-point. The
Dreikaiserreichs Ecke is nowadays a rather forlorn spot, but there was a
time when visiting this tripoint was seen as a curious excursion. There
are many late nineteenth century postcards of the spot, many including
images of the Kaiser, the Tsar and the Austrian Emperor. For those
interested, the hidden europe website is at www.hiddeneurope.co.uk

articles on aspects of life in any around European borders.
