France–Germany–Luxembourg tripoint, International tripoint in Apach, France.
The borders of France, Germany, and Luxembourg converge at this geographical point marked by a white pillar near the Moselle River at 141 meters elevation.
The establishment of this tripoint reflects centuries of territorial changes between European nations, leading to the current border configuration between these three countries.
The region surrounding the tripoint maintains distinct French, German, and Luxembourgish languages, with local residents frequently crossing borders for daily activities.
Visitors reach the tripoint through marked hiking trails from Apach, Perl, or Schengen, with dedicated parking areas available in each of these towns.
The tripoint includes two separate junction points due to the special status of the Moselle River, which forms a condominium between Germany and Luxembourg.
