Bill,

I have recent dutch 1:25.000 maps of Baarle and surroundings. I could put scans of it on the internet for downloading. Let me know. An older Belgium scan (with the enclaves better visible) is available at: http://wings.buffalo.edu/philosophy/faculty/smith/baarle.htm

I'm not a Baarle-expert but apparently the maps are not totally correct. Brendan Whyte is the ultimate expert on this, contact him. He should know if there's English documentation on the subject.

Peter Hering could tell you more of the hotel they took at their GCEBE-visit.

An English translation of my Baarle-page - which you asked before - is still to be made. When is your Baarle-trip scheduled?

vriendelijke groet, Eef Berns

IT IS NOT A BRIDGE BUT THE CHANNEL TUNNEL BETWEEN BRITAIN AND FRANCE IS LONGER. IS THERE A BORDER INDICATED IN THE TUNNEL. I DID NOT SEE ONE, BUT THEN WE WERE TRAVELLING AT 50 M.P.H.

I NEED A DETAILED MAP OF BAARLE. ANY IDEAS??

PLUS CAN ANYONE RECOMMEND AN HOTEL IN BAARLE AND A GUIDE BOOK IN ENGLISH ON THE VILLAGE???

Subject: [BoundaryPoint] shortest+longest intn'l border bridges

Well, folks-

that's quite an interesting topic.

Shortest bridge:

If you call any device crossing a body of

water a "bridge", then the bridge in the

Intn'l Peace Garden betw. the US and Canada

should be the winner, but the bridge mentioned

by Jesper betw. Belgium and Luxembourg

close to the tripoint BeDeLu, crossing the

"Ribbach" must be a runner-up.

Longest border bridge:

imo, the "Oeresundbridge" between Sweden

and Denmark (17 km)must be the winner, any other suggestions?

Peter H.
