Thanks for the link. Looks like it's Euro 289 for Europe, and interestingly this data extends beyond their printed VFR/GPS chart coverage.

I wonder if this stuff works on Flitemap (GPS moving map).

I'd set 7700 immediately, that will raise alarms all over the place, both in the UK and in France. The Mode C altitude going down at some 1000fpm will also make it obvious to all what's happening.

I'd read the German AIP, not some note on a Jepp chart. An unqualified mandatory 2000ft min level for VFR has to be nonsense, especially given the term "cross country" (what does it mean?).
