    Hiking

    Myriameter stones are survey markers. A myriameter (from ancient Greek μυριάς myrias "ten thousand" - cf. myriad) corresponds to 10,000 meters, i.e. 10 kilometers. de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myriameterstein

    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.
