This Cycling Path Became a Border (Vennbahn)

Once part of a forgotten railway, today it’s one of the strangest borders in Europe — a cycling path that cuts between Belgium and Germany. The Vennbahn is a narrow strip of Belgian land running through German territory, a leftover from the chaos of the 20th century and one of the weirdest geopolitical accidents on the continent. In this video, I explore this bizarre border, where houses, farms, and even gardens are split between two countries. We’ll trace how a simple train line turned into an international boundary, and how locals live with the consequences of a border that literally runs through their backyards.
