Thanks Brendan for your concern
regarding accomodation-but everything
has been taken care of in the mean-
time... found a hotel in Baarle-H.
just a few hundred meters from the
divided house in Loveren-street...!
Regards
Peter H.

[BoundaryPoint] accommodation in Baarle the following accommodation options: IF stopping at the Vennbahn enclaves, there is a youth hostel in the old castle in the centre of Monschau. Probably a good idea to book ahead as it was full with school ghroups when i was there. There is another youth hostel which was very pleasant, at the top of the hill leading out of town to the north, but not as historic. IN Baarle, there are several hotels in the village itself and severla bungalow parks and camping grounds in the vicinity. However, may I recommend the Kamphuis at De BLokken. It is a large brick building about 10m from the main Belgo-Dutch border, built by a smuggler in the 1950s. The location in an almost-enclave of the netherlands, the association with border smuggling, the rural locale, the nearby military bases, the enclave contested in the 1950s about 1km away..., the border itself... all fascintating, and at 3-4km south of baarle, it is not an unwalkable distance away, and easy to cycle or drive to/from. Check it out at www.deblokken.nl I talked with the owner, Kees ("KC") in October, so if you do book, tell him I sent you. The road to it is a small farm track (it is probablym ore eaily accessible through Belgium), but as the dutch track has a small bridge, all you have to do it damage that, and you have created your own enclave! And don't forget to smuggle some butter out to Belgium when you leave...
