<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt; &gt;I have seen the discussions on this list as to what<br/>
&gt; &gt;constitutes an enclave or an exclave. For example,<br/>
&gt; &gt;we don&#39;t seem to be able to agree upon whether Jungholz<br/>
&gt; &gt;is an exclave or not. But it certainly is a geographic<br/>
&gt; &gt;anomaly, isn&#39;t it? And a unique and very interesting<br/>
&gt; &gt;one, too.<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; actually we have reason to hope it is not unique<br/>
&gt; for it may prove to be 1 of perhaps 5 similar international <br/>
&gt; boundary crosses<br/>
&gt;   aka binational quadripoints<br/>
&gt; with probably 1 or 2 or 3 more like it in baarle<br/>
&gt; & likewise in bengal<br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>This is intriguing! After reading your message I took out<br/>
my touristic map of Baarle, which is unfortunately not<br/>
very accurate (which is proven by the fact that one Belgian<br/>
fragment is completely missing!).<br/>
<br/>
However, I seem to be able to spot one of the binational<br/>
quadripoints.<br/>
<br/>
Where the streets Donkerstraat, Molenstraat and Turnhoutseweg<br/>
meet, there are two Dutch fragments that seem to meet in<br/>
one point; the fragments beeing a triangular shape and an<br/>
inverted U-shape.<br/>
<br/>
Is this one of the candidate points you are referring to?<br/>
I wouldn&#39;t be surprised if this one is marked with a stone,<br/>
the Molenstraat beeing somewhat of a main street. <br/>
<br/>
Does anyone know where I can get hold of better (more<br/>
accurate, large-scale) maps of Baarle?<br/>
<br/>
Would you be able to describe where the other quadripoint<br/>
candidates in Baarle are situated?<br/>
