This German ‘village’ is what is known as an enclave – completely surrounded by Switzerland, by the cantons of Schaffhausen, Zurich and Thurgau. The municipality of Büsingen am Hochrhein is separated from the rest of Germany by a narrow strip of land, just 680 metres at its narrowest point.

Politically, the 1,880-acre area is part of Germany, but economically part of Switzerland – as it’s part of the Swiss Customs Union. Like Switzerland, ... Read more
