The following scan of the ex-enclave (disappeared 28 august 1958 in
accordance with 24 Sept 1956 treaty of Brussels) is fomr
Belgian 1:25 000 topo map 56/7-8, 'burg-reuland -- gross-bohlscheid'
IGN (Belgium), edition 3, 1991
you can see the old railbed at Hemmeres is now a road linking to the
original east-west road, then crossed the Our into Belgium, went through a
tunnel (map says 'uber dem tunnel' on the hill) and then up the Braunlauf
valley. To the south it followed the Our, crossing it several times, but the
river is no longer the border down there.

The cirlces labelled 'Gr (number)" are grens (border) pillars. 151 to 159
mark the main border behind the ex-enclave.
