Baarle-Hertog and Baarle-Nassau Border Enclaves

Highlight • Historical Site

Baarle, the most remarkable village in the world.

30 pieces of Belgium and the Netherlands that are intertwined. On the map it is called Baarle-Nassau and Baarle-Hertog. A village, unique in its duality: two municipal councils with two mayors and two schools. But with one population, which, with its two nationalities, goes hand in hand. Without realizing it, you cross the border dozens of times.

Location where there is a wide range of options to enjoy passages while enjoying a drink and/or snack. The position of the sun does determine the crowds on the terraces. Enjoy together.
