Ok, about the Jungholz area being a
border-intersection point, I am hoping that one exists
and as I have too often seen cartographic inaccuracy
for simplicity, I do not take a 1:50,00 or less
detailed map to face value at for 10-20 meter
intervals until I or somebody visits the area. I am
not sure of the Bangladeshi border-intersection point,
even though that one most likely exists and it seems
like there are two Baarle points.
I also wanted to find out about administrative
divisional quadripoints of the first degree. I have
found ones in Mexico and Argentina. I had found a
book on administrative divisions and it had in it
listed many enclaves and a few quadripoints. I noted
it on a piece of paper which I seemed to have
misplaced.
I already know about enclaves within enclaves which is
found in only two areas in the world
(Belgium-Netherlands and Bangladesh-India). There are
about 25 of India within India and 3 of Bangladesh
within Bangladesh (or maybe the other way around.)
However, one of the Bangladeshi enclave within
Bangladesh seems to contain an enclave within and that
is unique.
Oddly enough, I noticed this enclave area after I
moved to USA and thus have had no time to visit the
enclave area. I will try to find all about the area
the next time I visit the country and would like to
visit if the BDR (the border police) do not arrest me
as a suspicious character.
