&gt; Gosh, I thought I was the only person interested in enclaves! (and<br/>
&gt; exclaves)... I&#39;m fascinated by those bits of countries that arn&#39;t<br/>
&gt; where you expect. I know about the relatively obvious ones, Baarle<br/>
&gt; Hertog etc, having lived in Belgium. But thanks for giving info on<br/>
&gt; those German/Swiss oddities.<br/>
&gt; At the risk of putting the &#39;cat amongst the pigeons&#39; here are the<br/>
&gt; scetchiest details I have on some other oddities I&#39;ve heard about<br/>
&gt; over the years. They might not exist, but I&#39;d love to know if any of<br/>
&gt; your experts know more.<br/>

to the list of &quot;strange enclaves&quot;. This is something like a German<br/>
railway station inside Switzerland (only a few kilometers behind the<br/>
border, but already inside the city of Basel). A lot of German trains<br/>
have their starting or end point there. If you leave the railway station<br/>
you have to go through the German/Swiss customs...<br/>
