In the heart of Europe lies one of the strangest border quirks you've probably never heard of — Jungholz, an Austrian village that can only be reached from Germany. Although part of Austria, Jungholz is completely surrounded by German territory, except for a single point that connects it to the rest of Austria — the summit of Mount Sorgschrofen.
This makes Jungholz a pene-exclave, meaning it's part of Austria but practically inaccessible without going through another country. Locals go to school, shop, and visit hospitals in Germany, as it’s far more convenient.
But how did this unique geographical oddity come to be? Watch the video to find out, and don’t forget to share your thoughts in the comments!
