    Dreiländereck – Austria, Liechtenstein and Switzerland

    I’m very engaged with borders and their meeting points, so I was pleased to have the opportunity to visit the Dreiländereck which is the meeting point of Austria, Liechtenstein and Switzerland.

    And there we go, the actual spot is in the middle of the river and I decided against wading in.

    We were standing on the Swiss side of the river, over there is Austria to the left and Liechtenstein to the right. There’s nothing evident to mark the actual spot where the three countries meet, so we were reliant on looking at a map to ensure that we were at the right place.

    Walking back to the rather interesting place that Richard left the car. It’s the Rhine and this is near the start of this river before it goes off thundering through Germany and then entering the North Sea via the Netherlands. It’s all very peaceful and there were plenty of cyclists and walkers on both sides of the river.

    And we saw what I think is a grey heron.

    Richard and I went for a walk in the Pitztal Valley last week and I was so inspired that I’m taking my friend Liam there next year for mountain biking, walking and climbing (by climbing, I mean walking up slight slopes).

    Richard was terrified by this, but I was calm and collected when walking by. The rest of this post is just the photos of the walk, it really was a beautiful area.
