Myriameter stones:
These historic kilometer markers are placed every ten thousand meters on both sides of the Rhine between Basel and Rotterdam.

On May 25, 1864, in Amsterdam – following the straightening of the Upper Rhine by Gottfried Tulla – the Central Commission for Rhine Navigation ordered the first comprehensive survey of the Rhine, which was to begin at the Mittlere Brücke (Middle Bridge) in Basel (today's Rhine km 166.6) and end at the mouth of the Rhine. Members were the Rhine-bordering states of Baden, Bavaria, France, Hesse, Nassau, the Netherlands, and Prussia.

In 1867, the Central Commission decided to erect marker stones, so-called myriameter stones, to mark the survey results. The stones were made of Ibbenbüren sandstone, measuring approximately 120 x 50 x 50 cm, and ended in a flat, four-sided pyramid. All four sides were inscribed. The Rhine side bears the stone's number in Roman numerals.
