How Good is Your Geographic? [4]

Here's my question. What did the small areas of West Berlin known as Steinstücken and Eiskeller have in common during the time the Berlin Wall was up?

A wild guess - they contained the Avus?

No.

I only think this is half right. :mad:
Both areas were surrounded by East Germany and access needed to be procured in the form of buying the part of East Germany that the access covered when the wall was erected?

I have to give it to you, I think. They were indeed both 'exclaves' of West Berlin on DDR territory, where the access was across DDR land and thus subject to particular restrictions until better routes were agreed in the 1970s. The specific link I was looking for was that those two were the only ones to have people living on them. Read more here — Berlin Exclaves

Anyway, I doubt anyone else will get closer, so your go!

That is a very informative page, thanks for sharing it. I was already in elementary school when the wall was built. I still can’t even begin to think about how easy my day to day life must have been compared to Berliners around that time.

Here is your question, it should be an easy one.

Lake Nemi held two extraordinary artifacts for almost 2,000 years. Where is Lake Nimi? What are these artifacts, and who was their owner?

Forgive me, but which of the two spellings you mention is correct?

Possibly a technicality that could affect someones getting the answer correct. I should have asked: "Who ordered what is left of these arifacts built"!

Alea iacta est

I'm finding this fascinating - I had never heard of the sand dunes of Lençóis, an exclave, Lake Nemi,or any of the other recent answers until I looked them up.
