LIVCO-25

A 10 day trip road trip which began and finished in Hamburg, Germany. This expedition had echoes of previous early IBRG trips which covered large distances and visited many countries. Unlike those trips however IBRG members joined at different times and visited different POI’s.

In total, 10 IBRG members participated on this trip from the UK (1), Austria (1) Czech Republic (1) Denmark (4), Germany (1),the Netherlands (1) and the USA (1).

This expedition focused initially on the historic inner German border and the Czech-German border, before focusing on the borders and tripoints of the countries near Lake Constance which include Austria, Germany, Liechtenstein and Switzerland. The final section of the trip focused on the Swiss – Italian border. As with most IBRG trips the focused shifted between current and historical tripoints, rare quadripoints, current and historical borders, border markers, border crossings and their infrastructure.

Our first meal and overnight in a German Castle
When in Munich!

For those who were there for the whole trip there 6 tripoints (2 historical) to bag.

As with all the IBRG trips there was lots of discussions, food and drink! This page is an introduction to the trip with individual reports being accessible by clicking on either the photos or the links (in red) either within the text or via the menu of the right hand side of the page.
