- masklinn 8y agoTBF, the "desenclaving" is relatively recent if it was effected by the Schengen agreement given these enclaves were created back in 1921. It would be interesting to know how they were handled/managed in the meantime, did Belgium have the entire railway fenced off? I expect not, most land borders are not that hard, the east/west border was more the exception than the rule.
