Essential information:
In Baarle there's a special point, a so-called quadripoint. At a tripoint, three countries meet at 1 point. while at a quadripoint four borderlines meet. The Belgian enclaves H1 and H2 in Baarle meet each other at 1 point. There only two other 'bi-national quadripoints' in the world: the Austrian semi-enclave of Jungholz in Germany (connected to Austria at 1 point) and a simular case in Bangladesh with a semi-enclave in India. An other name for such a point is 'boundary cross'.
'Real' quadripoints (involving four different countries) don't exist (anymore).
I visited this place om 22 sept 2019, and it appeared well recognizable in the landscape. De Belgian fields all had Corn on it
On the apparent quadripoint-spot there was a metal pipe stuck in the ground which is the recognized bordermarker.
