Dreiländereck is a unique landmark where the borders of three countries converge: Switzerland, Germany, and France. Located at the tip of the Rhine harbor in Basel, the site features a striking monument, a three-sided obelisk, that symbolizes the tripoint. Visitors can stand at the exact meeting point and take photos with the monument. The area offers panoramic views of the Rhine and the surrounding cities of Basel, Weil am Rhein, and Huningue. It's a popular spot for tourists and locals alike, often used as a starting point for walks along the river.
