Hello! acroorca2002 schrieb: > did you get a look at the quadripoint > between sections 1 & 2 on your map Unfortunately not. I did *not* look for all borderlines (I did not have the time; it was just a one day's visit), we were just walking around in the city for 3 or 4 hours and whenever I saw a border marking, I took a photo. The "map" you mention (http://rz-home.de/~mhaertel/baarle2002/dia.cgi?20) is actually a medium resolution digital photo of the plate at the town hall, illustrating the enclaves. I am not completely sure whether it is entirely correct. Some comments on some of the other photos: http://rz-home.de/~mhaertel/baarle2002/dia.cgi?1 : main border Belgium/Netherlands on the way to Baarle http://rz-home.de/~mhaertel/baarle2002/dia.cgi?6 and http://rz-home.de/~mhaertel/baarle2002/dia.cgi?6 : border inside the "Biergrens" (I asked for permission) http://rz-home.de/~mhaertel/baarle2002/dia.cgi?10 : entry of a shop north of the Belgian church http://rz-home.de/~mhaertel/baarle2002/dia.cgi?16 : border runs through a double house http://rz-home.de/~mhaertel/baarle2002/dia.cgi?23 : Note the Dutch street sign on the Belgian side of the border! http://rz-home.de/~mhaertel/baarle2002/dia.cgi?28 : 3 borderlines within a few meters! The first one is at the front of the picture, the second one at the beginning of the hedge (still visible) and the third one at the end of the hedge (not visible on this photo). This is in the east of Baarle. http://rz-home.de/~mhaertel/baarle2002/dia.cgi?29 : The second and the first of the borderlines mentioned before, viewed from the other side (at the beginning of the hedge) http://rz-home.de/~mhaertel/baarle2002/dia.cgi?30 : And this is the third one, at the end of the hedge, looking in the direction of the other two (end of the hedge). Note the small red and yellow Belgian-only Baarle town sign partially covered by the hedge (not a combined town sign as at the other roads). http://rz-home.de/~mhaertel/baarle2002/dia.cgi?31 : Border runs through a supermarket (west of Baarle) http://rz-home.de/~mhaertel/baarle2002/dia.cgi?32 : This is still the same borderline as in the photo before, running over a parking area. This border makes it possible to park with 3 wheels in one and 1 wheel in another country. ;-) http://rz-home.de/~mhaertel/baarle2002/dia.cgi?33 : The border runs through the cultural center of Baarle. A plate at the building says that some international treaties were signed in this building, right on the border... http://rz-home.de/~mhaertel/baarle2002/dia.cgi?39 and http://rz-home.de/~mhaertel/baarle2002/dia.cgi?40 : This is the famous house with both a Belgian and a Dutch house number, because the border runs right through the middle of the door! It is in the west of Baarle. Best regards -- Manfred Härtel mailto:Manfred.Haertel@... http://rz-home.de/mhaertel
