One of the most unusual borders in the world 🌍 In the small town of Baarle, you can cross between the Netherlands and Belgium 🇳🇱🇧🇪 more than 30 times in just 5 km 🚶‍♂️Inside Dutch territory lie 22 Belgian enclaves, and inside those — another 7 Dutch enclaves! The border runs right through streets 🚗 cafés ☕ shops 🛍️ and even private homes 🏠 Every plot of land follows the laws of its own country. That means in the Netherlands, beer is allowed from 18 🍺 but in Belgium — from 16 and Dutch teens definitely know it 😉 Some residents have even moved their front doors just to switch countries and pay less tax 💰 This bizarre patchwork goes back to the 12th century, when two feudal lords 🤝 traded, gifted and rented land like pieces of a mosaic. When Belgium and the Netherlands were eventually formed, they decided to keep the borders exactly as they were — leaving us with one of the strangest frontiers on Earth 🌏
