<div id="ygrps-yiv-47673674">Yes it is an enclave. The land on each side of the river gets half the <br/>
river that it fronts. Thus where the two banks are Swiss, the entire river <br/>
is Swiss. Where one bank is German and on Swiss, the river is split in <br/>
half. Thus Buesingen cannot be physically connected to Germany and it an <br/>
exclave/enclave.<br/>
As the north bank along which you propose to paddle is Swiss, the river in <br/>
which you are paddling is Swiss.<br/>

<blockquote><span title="qreply"> &gt;I would like to ask the members of this group if Büsingen really<br/>
&gt;qualifies as an enclave (exclave) since it is accessible via the<br/>
&gt;Rhine from the German bit of territory stuck between the two parts<br/>
&gt;of Schaffhausen canton. I bought an enormous map of Schaffhausen<br/>
&gt;canton and the international border here cuts the Rhine in half. One<br/>
&gt;could go south to the German town of Gailingen, get in a boat and<br/>
&gt;paddle westward to Büsingen. If one kept to the north shore of the<br/>
&gt;Rhine the whole time, would one have ever left German territory? Or<br/>
&gt;is this map wrong, and are both sides of the Rhine entirely Swiss<br/>
&gt;territory between the parts of Schaffhausen canton that separate<br/>
&gt;Büsingen from Gailingen? </span></blockquote></div>
