Baarle-Nassau/Hertog
Over the weekend, I went to a magical placed called Baarle-Nassau. This magical place is not in Netherlands, although it is completely surrounded by Holland. For a matter of fact, it is not even an entire city, but rather 30 "enclaves". These envlaves are part of Belgium, as a result of the Treaty of Masstricht in the 16th century. Thus, the city has two names, Baarle-Nassau, for the part of the city that went to the House of Nassau-Orange (present Dutch Crown), and Baarle-Hertog (Duke, also King of Belgium), which went to Belgium.
