On Jungholz topomap http://www.geocities.com/mafiapetedk/jungholz.jpg

there seems to be a small gateway around 10-20 meters from Austria to Jungholz.

Interesting the boundary markers are numberes towards west 108, 109 etc. 111 is below the map edge, which would leave 110 in the narow spot.

The Jungholz area is numbered differently.

Best regards

Jesper
