点评:This is an appropriate attraction for this week as the Women's UEFA Euro is played in Basel with a quarterfinal between two Basel neighbors Germany and France. One of the things at the core of a Basel visit is so many countries in one place. This marker on the Rhine River is a tangible testament to the city's international importance.
While your time in the city can feel totally Swiss, any view from a building, hill or over the river is likely to show you 2 if not 3 countries. It is a fact you will quickly grasp when you arrive by plane, train or boat. Basel's location is one of the things that makes it a great place and that includes having 3 countries so close together.
We had a chance to see the triangle marker when we started our trip down the Rhine. I had thought we would board at the port terminal so I could walk to it, but we boarded at St. Johanns Tower, so I had to see it from the river. As we began to sail down the Rhine, I left the dinner table to go topside for a couple of pictures of this landmark to mark where 3 countries come together. It is unique to find such places, especially just peaceful places.

虽然您在巴塞尔的时光会让您感受到浓浓的瑞士风情,但从任何建筑物、山丘或河上眺望,您都可能看到两个甚至三个国家。当您乘坐飞机、火车或轮船抵达巴塞尔时,您很快就会明白这一点。巴塞尔的地理位置是其魅力所在,这三个国家彼此毗邻。
我们沿着莱茵河开始旅程时,有机会看到了这个三角形地标建筑。我原本打算在港口码头登船,这样就可以步行前往,但我们在圣约翰塔登船,所以只能从河上欣赏它。当我们开始沿着莱茵河航行时,我离开餐桌,走到甲板上,拍了几张这个地标的照片,它标志着三个国家的交汇。能找到这样的地方真是太难得了,尤其是在如此宁静的地方。
