<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4obecHikIfY&t=1622">27:02</a> as someone living in the arctic circle and very close to Rovaniemi there are pretty much all across the circle (what goes through finland) marks and big signs on all roads that tell when you have entered the circle

Another "insane" border left out. Bristol VA/TN. The border between VA and TN runs east and west along State Street through the city. There are bronze plaques in the middle of the street marking the line dividing both states.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4obecHikIfY&t=204">3:24</a> There is also a tiny bridge (crossing a narrow creek) between Belgium and the Netherlands, on the street 'Nieuwkerk' near the Nieuwkerk monestary (now a hotel/restaurant). <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4obecHikIfY&t=320">5:20</a> Also interesting is the Nieuwstraat in Kerkrade (the Neterlands) and the Neustraße in Herzogenrath (Germany), where the Dutch/German border partially runs in the middle of that street, with even house numbers in Germany and odd ones in the Netherlands. Whithin the Belgian enclave Baarle Hertog, there are a few tiny Dutch Baarle Nassau enclaves, as well as some streets that partly are Belgian on one side and Dutch on the other side. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4obecHikIfY&t=1095">18:15</a> I once crossed the border from Sikkim (India) to Bangladesh. It was a very strange border. First there was a tiny police station in India where a check was needed, as well as another check in another tiny building for getting a stamp leaving India. Then we (a frined of mine and I) were told to 'just go that way' pointing to the South. Then there was a road next to the Bangladesh border on the Indian side. There was no official crossing, we desided to turn right and went through a hole in the gate along the border. We walked through some paddy fields and found a riksha that took us to the police station and border controll on the Bangladesh side. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4obecHikIfY&t=2250">37:30</a> There is almost a 4 borders point between 4 different countries, there is a bridge between Botswana and Zambia, while on on side of the bridge there is this strange land toungue of Namibia, while on the other side of the bridge there is Zimbabwe. Within the Zambezi river, the official distance between Namibia and Zimbabwe is just about 130  to 140 meters. From 1816 to 1920 there was a neutral piece of land called Moresnet. There was a unique 4-border point between the countries Belgium, the Netherlands, Prussia (Germany since 1871) and the neutral Moresnet. The only other 4-border point I know of is between the states Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah, yet obviously those are not countries.
