Hello,
Well I will take pictures for your virtual tour through the enclaves.
I understood that there are 2 quadripoints in Baarle and one nearly
quadripoint.
I'll take some copies of the official measurements of 1995 with the
coordinates in the Belgian system and the coordinates in the Dutch system.
Furthermore i'll try to take some pictures as well.
Victor is arriving at Baarle on October 10th.
Best Regards,
Ed Ragas
