• Baarle-Hertog Border crossings 巴勒‑赫尔托赫出入境

    The Netherlands' municipality is Baarle-Nassau, while Baarle-Hertog sits on Dutch soil. To complete the puzzle, parts of Baarle-Nassau are, in turn, tucked right back inside Baarle-Hertog.
    The Belgian municipality of Baarle-Hertog is made up of 22 separate enclaves, all completely surrounded by Dutch territory. To make things even more mind-bending, the Netherlands has 7 counter-enclaves tucked inside those Belgian patches.
    This dizzying patchwork stems from centuries of peaceful medieval treaties, land swaps, and the 1843 Treaty of Maastricht. Today, the border cuts straight through buildings, shops, and gardens—marked on the pavement with white crosses or dots. As a result, we crossed between nations dozens of times during a single walk, without knowing.

    荷兰的市镇名为巴尔勒-纳索(Baarle-Nassau),而巴尔勒-赫托赫(Baarle-Hertog)则位于荷兰领土之内。让这一交错格局更加有趣的是,巴尔勒-纳索的部分地区又反过来嵌入了巴尔勒-赫托赫境内。
    比利时的巴勒‑赫尔托赫(Baarle‑Hertog)自治市由22块独立的飞地组成,这些飞地全部被荷兰领土完全包围。更让人迷惑的是,荷兰在这22块比利时“飞地”内部还嵌入了7块反向飞地。这种令人头晕的拼图格局,源于几个世纪以来和平的中世纪条约、土地交换,以及1843年的《马斯特里赫特条约》。如今,国境线径直穿过建筑物、商店和花园——地面上用白色十字或圆点标出边界。因此,我们在一段散步途中,就不知不觉地穿梭于两国之间数十次。
