Border situation with Luxembourg
The national road N4 leading through the town from Brussels to Arlon forms the state border with Luxembourg over a length of 1.8 km . The street itself and the houses in the west are on Belgian territory, the houses in the east belong to the Luxembourg municipality of Rambruch .
