Re: CZDEPL Tripoint

Interesting comments. Thanks. You ask:

"but how close did these 3 heads of state you saw there
or any of the other celebrants then come to actually
reaching this inconveniently wet 3state point of
theirs"

Actually closer than you think! A temporary bridge was constructed 
across the Neisse River that passed within a metre of the tri-point. 
Not actually over it, but pretty close. The bridge was there for 
about a week, but only open for public use between midday on 30 
April 2004 and the evening of 1 May 2004. A second small temporary 
footbridge was constructed over the Neisse tributary stream that 
divides CZ from PL.
