&gt; 1) The smallest enclave, the middle one, consisting of one house and a <br/>

<br/>
Just to be certain I understand, is that the image &quot;monschau.jpg&quot;, with<br/>
the house labelled &quot;Ruckschlag&quot;? Border posts 756 757 758 758.<br/>
<br/>
&gt; 2) The railway station at Monschau. Note how the road, German, cuts into the <br/>
&gt; Belgian station land.<br/>
<br/>
image &quot;monschau2.jpg&quot;? What is the strange &#39;peninsula&#39; of Belgian<br/>
territory that extends north and west of border post 675K??  <br/>
<br/>
There are a couple of places where it almost seems that German territory<br/>
is above Belgian territory!!  As Euperner Strasse passes border post 675J,<br/>
it appears to truncate the aforementioned &#39;peninsula&#39; but perhaps flies<br/>
over it. But as it flies over the railway between 675K and 674L Euperner<br/>
Strasse is in Belgian territory?<br/>
 <br/>
&gt; 3)the narrow gap between the two northernmost enclaves at Roetgen, where the <br/>
&gt; railline swings back into mainland Belgium for just a few metres before <br/>
&gt; swinging out again.<br/>
<br/>
Image &quot;roetgen.jpg&quot;? The exclaves are one with border posts 887 and 888<br/>
near its southern end, that extended off the scanned image to the north,<br/>
and another one with post 884 at the northern corner that extends off<br/>
image south and west?<br/>
<br/>
&gt; 4) The traffic island now on the border of belgium, inside the second of the <br/>
&gt; two Roetgen enclaves, that used to be an enclave itself when the Germans <br/>
&gt; owned the road south from here towards Monschau. The island is a parking <br/>
&gt; spot with a prefab cafe. On the southern side of the road is a hotel/small <br/>
&gt; supermarket/liquorshop.<br/>
<br/>
image &quot;roetgen2.jpg. Is the traffic island marked with a &quot;P&quot; in a square,<br/>
just northeast of the big &quot;L&quot; in Belgien&quot;?  Is it true that there is no<br/>
current exclave of either country on this image?<br/>
