Dreiländereck (Basel)
The Dreiländereck (Basel), literally translated as "Three-Country Corner," is the point where the borders of Switzerland, France, and Germany meet. It is located in the city of Basel, Switzerland, where the French commune of Huningue and the German town of Weil am Rhein are in close proximity. The precise tripoint lies in the Rhine river.
The area is a popular tourist destination. A monument marks the approximate location on the Swiss side. The monument consists of three flags representing the three countries. The actual border point is in the Rhine, making it inaccessible by land. Boat trips are available that navigate close to the location.
The Dreiländereck is an important symbol of international cooperation and peaceful relations between the three neighboring countries. The area is also significant for its economic connections, particularly in the Basel region, where cross-border collaboration is common.
