<div id="ygrps-yiv-1697581276">Sorry about still not adding Switzerland local<br/>
enclaves in my web page.  The Swiss enclaves are<br/>
pretty fascinating.  Kloster Grimmenstein is the<br/>
smallest enclave I have been able to find, so I think<br/>
Peter is right.  It is an enclave of one half-canton<br/>
in another, but the half-cantons are generally<br/>
included with cantons as a first-level area.  A web<br/>
page I printed out, now defunct, had the area of<br/>
Kloster Grimmenstein as .18 ha, I believe.  There is<br/>
oddly another tiny enclave of AI in AR.  Kloster<br/>
Wonnenstein is .40 ha.  Smallest enclave of one canton<br/>
in another is Kloster Fahr of Aargau between Zurich.<br/>
You should check out my link pages for maps of Swiss<br/>
enclaves.  The swissgeo, Geneva, Aargau and Vaud web<br/>
atlases will give you good maps if you know where the<br/>
enclaves are.  I also have a 1:500 map of Kloster<br/>
Grimmenstein and 1:3000 map of Kloster Fahr<br/>
photocopied from books.  I don&#39;t remember the exact<br/>
titles, but the copies are from a book on AI-AR<br/>
boundaries and a book on art in monasteries of Aargau<br/>
respectively.<br/>
