no, because the gap between those 2 southern enclaves falls on the junction
of 4 maps, and as the Belgian land is left blank, I didn't want to pay for
maps that had so much white space. A pity, as this area interested me too. I
found the remains of what seems to be an older rail bridge on the eastern
side of the current bridge. There is a rotten wooden footbridge in the
overgrown gully, that once took carts and other vehicles, but it seemd to
lead nowhere: too overgrown. Perhaps the bridge was destroyed in WW2  (or
WW1?)and rebuilt? I have a history of the vennbahn, but in German, so i
can't make head nor tail of it.

the sheets are (in order: NW, NE, SW, SE):
5403/16 Mutzenich, Vennhof
5403/17 Gut Reichenstein
5403/22 Kalterherberg, Ruitzhof
5403/23 Kalterherberg

The southern end of Mutzenich enclave is on 5403/16
The northern end of Kalterherberg enclave is on 5403/22
If you bisect the southern boundary of the Kalterherberg enclave, and draw a
north-south line through the bisecxtion point, that marks the edge between
5403/16 and 5403/22 on the west and the other two sheets on the east.
this N-S line is along German grid line 25.14,000 E
The East-west line between the northenr and southern sheets is alongf grid
line 56.00,000 N
