Hi everybody.

I came across some curiousities the other day while reading the Wikipedia entry for Switzerland: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switzerland)

There I read:
"Furthermore, three exclaves exist within Switzerland. The town of Büsingen is territory of Germany, the town of Campione d'Italia is territory of Italy and the about 24 m2 ground of the memorial to General Suvorov's crossing of the Alps (1799) along the Gotthard road are Russian territory. Switzerland itself holds a few m2 enclave in Liechtenstein."

These were unknown to me, and spurred a search for more information. (In which I discoverend many intriguing things about enclaves, borders - and this place.

But I have still not come across any information on this Liechtenstein situation, and not much to clear up this Suvorov situation either. So I try here...

Mvh
