The Flemish-Walloon border touches the Netherlands three times: at <br/>
boundary markers 14 (on the n.e. edge of the municipality of Voeren), <br/>
in the middle of the river Meuse off boundary marker 45 (the <br/>
westernmost point of said municipality), and boundary marker 53 (the <br/>
s.e. point of &#39;main land&#39; Flanders). All perfectly photographed by <br/>
Eef.<br/>
<br/>
I just don&#39;t know how to call them. benl2.... what? The Dutch <br/>
province is Limburg. On the Belgian side, the Flemish province is <br/>
called Limburg, too. The Walloon one is Liège. But I think the <br/>
important thing here is not the Belgian provinces, but the Belgian <br/>
federal regions.<br/>
<br/>
Of course there are three other ones, where the vlwa (Flemish-<br/>
Walloon) border touches the befr one: One at Risquons-Tout <br/>
(Mouscron), one near Wervik/Comines, and one near <br/>
Nieuwkerke/Armentières.<br/>
