Territorial Boundaries

The territorial borders with our neighboring countries Switzerland and Austria are regulated by treaties. The National Border Commission and the Civil Engineering and Geoinformation Office are responsible for the maintenance and updating - e.g. in the case of construction measures - of the national borders.

The exact course of the national border is defined by the so-called "Urkundenwerk"
