The Most Confusing Border in Europe

The Most Confusing Border in Europe is here — welcome to Baarle, a town where Belgium and the Netherlands are so intertwined that the border literally cuts through streets, cafés, and people’s living rooms. 🇧🇪🇳🇱

In this 4K travel vlog, we explore Baarle-Hertog (Belgium) and Baarle-Nassau (Netherlands) — one of Europe’s strangest geographic puzzles. With more than 30 Belgian enclaves inside Dutch territory (and Dutch exclaves inside those enclaves), Baarle is a real-life map glitch you have to see to believe.

We cross the border over ten times, show houses that belong to two different countries, visit the famous migrating house, and explain how medieval land exchanges created this chaotic but fascinating layout. You’ll also learn about the smuggling history, the tax tricks, and how restaurants used to move customers between tables to avoid closing times.
