The English word of a place where three borders meet would be
tripoint, while the German one would be Dreiländerecke (Three lands' corner).
There is no Danish word for it (we don't have any) other than
the ones I have introduced on the radio, newspapers, internet etc: trelandspunkt
(three country point)

The things you list are all *enclaves* -
bits of territory belonging
to one country that are entirely surrounded by
territory belonging to
a different country. Another example of the same
thing would be the
Madha enclave belonging to Oman, situated in the United
Arab Emirates.
Boundary points are points at which the borders of several
nations (or
states, or counties, etc) meet. These points seldom have
special names.
