The American mind cannot even comprehend a border between 3 countries being so open.
Hey we’ve got Four Corners!
Isn’t that between 4 states though? Rather than 4 countries lol still super cool though
Don’t worry I’m sure they’ll come up with tight immigration between states eventually
Just speed run getting a felony, grab a kid and run around 4 corners to get the kidnapping over state lines achievement.
Have you seen the difference in laws between US states!?
The relationship between states in the EU is not very different from the relationship between US States under the Articles of Confederation. It’s not a big a distinction as you think.
Sure, but Norway is not in the EU ;)
Yeah, but relatively large states with a combined population of nearly 20m.
It’s the Google map travel distance thing all over again
Which is on an indian reservation, and requires an entrance fee to go look at it.
Is that new? I definitely didn’t pay to go to it- a little over 10 years ago
I went through there last summer. It was a total tourist trap.
Yeah honestly. I know we (USA), do any number of things In a screwed up way, but it’s also what I’m used to. There’s NO border control anywhere around there? Seems weird to me.
When I was in Germany in 2022, I traveled freely around Germany, France, Belgium, Switzerland, and Czechia. I only got asked for my Passport in Switzerland, and then at the airports. Otherwise, no, you’d just be driving or on a train and the signs would change to French suddenly.
I loved it. I wish we fucking would relax our shit in the US. It was hella neat.
Do you have border control between states? It’s basically the same thing with schengen. No control between countries on the “inside”, but rigorous control to get in.
There are 48 in Europe of those tripoints, seven of them with Germany.
The one with Belgium and the Netherlands has a park around it with a large maze, a watchtower and playgrounds.
I just noticed the map at the end is missing the tripoint Italy-Slovenia-Austria
three nations did not want to lose their soverign rights to equal thirds of this small lake. what is in the lake.
Nothing is out there! All there is is a lake and birds and fish. … And a wooden walkway. … And a big ass cement block. But there’s nothing else there. It’s a complete void. The environment is perfectly safe!
And mosquitos, supposedly. A lot of mosquitos.
A bit of mud and a few rocks.
This is what is possible when humans put aside our differences and work together!
They really did!
Humans are weird. (And delightful!)
From which side can you access it? Which nation owns the corner?
pretty sure it’s co-owned, and it seems to be accessed from the finnish side because that’s where the solid ground is, though you have to pass through the swedish or norwegian border to get there.
So in essence: Finland’s corner!
It would be awesome if it was a big monument to peace and cooperation
Damnit. Wish I had known when I drove from Norway into Finland for lunch with a beer, then returned.
Dang this meme is moldy
