Blofeld's remark "the existence of such artifacts as boundary crosses can give rise to all sorts of philosophical and mathematical ponderings. For example, is Jungholz really connected to the rest of Austria, the boundary cross being a point and thus infinitely small?" reminded me of medieval theological disputes about how many angels could stand on a needle's point.
 
Well, I tried to stand on the boundary cross in Baarle. An account of my visits to
- the quadripoint in Baarle
- the 22th enclave (H22)
can be seen at http://home.wanadoo.nl/~eefberns/index.html
 
In addition the Andorra-tripoints-page (same web-location) has been updated with some pictures found by Marcel Miquel (thank you!).
