1) 1:25,000 topo showing the NW corner of FL and tripoint
of CH-FL-A 2) Looking south (into Liechtenstein) on the bike/walking path
along the Rhine River. In other pictures on the Internet, there was a gate
of some sort as recently as the early 2000s. As this picture shows, it was
disassembled in September 2006. This pathway is on a levee near the bank of
the Rhine. 3) Same location looking north into Austria. Pieces of the old
gate are visible on the right. 4) A close-up of the marker and warning
sign...warning that this is a crossing point for pedestrians and that one
must possess ID and documents and cannot use this as a crossing point for
transporting goods. Notice the border pole east of here just before the
trees. |

Liechtenstein reference markers are visible on the left, and the old
Austrian customs building is just across the creek. 4) A closer view of
