    A large stone with a wrought-iron globe, compass rose, and an information panel indicates that the 50th northern latitude and the 8th eastern longitude intersect about 80 meters south (on a private garden plot, thus not easily accessible).

    (I was able to visit the exact "confluence point" as part of the "Degree Confluence Project" [confluence.org] after the extremely friendly residents granted me access to their beautifully wild garden. My visit to the confluence point has since been recognized by the project and published here: confluence.org/confluence.php?visitid=23201. More about visiting confluence points here: komoot.de/collection/1609092 )
