These three are the last for now.

The first two pictures concern the smallest of the Vennbahn exclaves,
the one called Rueckschlag, near Entenpfuhl. The first one is boundary
marker no. 759, the north-eastern corner of the exclave. The second
shows the Rueckschlag house. The picture is taken near boundary marker
no. 756 (not on the photo, just to the right of it). The fence you can
see in the foreground is the southern boundary of the exclave.

The third picture is the former “traffic island” at Fringshaus, with
boundary marker no. 780 in the foreground. We are looking towards the
west, and at the former enclave. The little snack outlet (made by
Belgofrit!!! Brilliant name) is in Germanophone Belgian territory. The
two girls serving the snacks both talked German, but one had a very
distinct accent that gave away her Francophone origins, and the second
girl was of Mediterranean descent (or thereabout) and wasn’t too good
at German either. Enter me, ordering a curry sausage (very tasty, by
the way), and you get three people severely maltreating the German
language. For which my apologies.
