Tripoint Groningen/Drenthe/Niedersachsen
On this 3i-point BM 168 is situated.
Since 1764 on this place there have been a BM. This one was placed on the agreement between Bisdom Münsterand the Republic of the United Netherlands.
In 1824 a new agreement was signed by the Kingdom of Hannover and the kingdom of the Netherlands. This agreement still is actual and in charge!
Nowadays BM 168 is situated on the border of the Dutch Provinces Groningen and Drenthe and the German state Niedersachsen.
Actually it's no 3ipoint on three countries.

This tri-point actually has been a country 3i-point for years.
