Mostpoints
Neureichenau
While we are on a campground at
Neureichenau (DE) to hike next day to the tripoint ATCZDE, we made this night a small after dinnerhike in the woods behind the campground.
Here we walked into a stunning and pitoresque bordercrosspoint from DEAT (v.v.).
Watch the BM on the otherside in the red circle.
Schrattenberg - Valtice (ATCZ)
Just behind Valticea (CZ), we passed this bordercrossing and found a twin BM, with the different numbers: X-17/6 and X-18.
Bordercrossing Dreissesselbergstrasse
Neureichenau (ATDE)
At the bordercrossing between Austria and Germany (ATDE) at the Dreiseßelbergstraße, I found 2 BM's on the right of the road, while driving from DE to AT.
Both placed in 1960, says this website:

Feldkirch - Büchel (ATCH)
The bordercrossing Feldkirch - Büchel is situated on the Rheinbrücke near the most Westernpoint of Austria, the tri-point of At, Ch and Li, BM no. 135.
See the own sections for info on that.
In this section some pictures of the border and how the border is visualised on the bridge.
The border is exactly in the middle of the river Rhein.
Wurzenpass (ATSLO)
In june 2024 we drove the Wurzenpass from Austria to Slovenia and passe the border on top of the pass.
Besides a bordercrossingsline (orange/red in the picture) I found 2 bordermarkers (no. 227 and 228).
The border was established by the
Treaty of Saint-Germain-en-Laye (1919), just after WW I.
Westernmostpoint of Austria
The Westernmostpoint of Austria is situated at bordermarker no. 135, at the river Rhine near Feldkirch.
It actually is also the marker of the 3i-point of Austria, Lichtenstein and Schweiz (ATCHLI).
The Westernmostpoint is near the Rheinbrücke at the Zollstraße.
More info over this borderbridge you will find here.
Easternmostpoint of Austria
The Easternmostpoint of Austria is situated at bordermarker no. 1, at the threepoint Austria-Hungaria-Slovakia (ATHUSK).
More pictures of the tripoint you find here.
