Dreiländereck - 3 Countries come together


We recently visited the place where Switzerland, Germany, and France come together. It’s only 10 minutes from our house, so we’re not sure why we haven’t been there before. Anyway, the Rhine river divides France and Germany, so they have built a monument on a small piece of land that extends into the water where the countries come together. Although there are a few restaurants close by, there aren’t any souvenir shops in the area, so don’t save your money for a hat or T-shirt... On a warm day, it would be nice to have lunch or dinner there to enjoy the view of the river, the monument, and a nice pedestrian bridge that is nearby. You can see our pictures of Basel here, or read about it here.
