Morocco claims Ceuta, together with the Spanish autonomous city of Melilla, and some Mediterranean islands at the border, which has forced Spain to set up a border fence as high as 3 meters around the city topped with barbed wire.
9. Border Baarle-Nassau/Baarle-Hertog

Halaib have a variety of resources, so desirable, but not Bir Tawil. Therefore, Egypt, claimed the border in 1899, which gives Halaib to Egypt and the Bir Tawil to Sudan.Instead, the Sudan border claims in 1902, which gives Halaib to Sudan to Egypt and Bir Tawil.
Both Egypt and Sudan confirmed that the Bir Tawil was not hers, making Bir Tawil is the only ground in the world (excluding Antarctica) are not claimed by any country.
7. Mount Everest
Why Mountain Everest on this list you may ask? Everyone knows, of course, that it is the highest mountain in the world, but what many people do not know is that Nepal and China border runs right in the middle of the mountain, including the summit itself, so that not only the tallest mountains, but also areas highest border.
6. District of Columbia
District of Columbia was originally carved out a large diamond from Maryland and Virginia. Then, of Virginia returned to Virginia, because of the size and location of the border has some unusual features.
When it was originally described, large stones (100 stones in total) located approximately one mile apart along the district to determine the border, ten miles long on each side. Some of the stone is missing today, but most are still there. There is one in Silver Spring, Maryland, which marks the northernmost point of the district.
East Avenue and Avenue form the western border of the Northeast and Northwest, respectively. If you walk down the sidewalk on the north side of the road in Maryland, the road is located in the district, and the roadside is a borderline state.
Shop on one side of the road that shows the phone number in the window they would have one area code (for Maryland) on the north side of the road, and different area codes (for District) on the south side.

As an exclave (enclave is a territory that geographical boundaries are located entirely within the boundaries of other areas.), Surrounded by a region of Bangladesh.
However, it also surrounds another region of Bangladesh, and the region itself around other areas of India, Dahala Khagrabari, so it became the only place in the world where a local exclave exclave exclave, and also contains another.

Korean DMZ is a piece of land about 160 miles (258 kilomters) in length and 2.5 miles (4 km) wide, dividing North and South Korea. This is the most widely border military personnel in the world.
Because it is so heavily guarded and almost no one ever comes in, it has created a sustainable nature. Some endangered species have been taken and put in there, and there are indications that some of them even increased in the population.
A border between the two Koreas can not be formally agreed upon, because these two countries are technically still at war. A ceasefire was agreed in 1953, but there was never a formal peace treaty.
2. Tumen River
Tumen is a river in northeast Asia. In areas near the coast, on the border between Russia and North Korea, just to the south of Lake Khasan, Tumen out between Russia and North Korea and actually in the territory of China.
Thus, in this area, you can start in North Korea, and within walking distance to the north is less than half a mile, you will pass through China and ends up in Russia.
Although probably not a good idea. It is common place for North Korea to try to cross, and for that reason, the border is guarded by North Korean soldiers.

So when residents of Little Diomede looked across the strait on Big Diomede, they not only look at other countries, but they also will see tomorrow. For example, when the 9:00 was on Saturday in Little Diomede, Big Diomede While on Sundays at 6:00 am
