Where did you visit for its geographical significance?

I drove a 4WD from Anchorage Alaska through Fairbanks, visited the Artic Circle and then drove on the Lost World Highway (a dirt road) through Chicken, across the US Canadian border (only open in summer and they have their own airstrip for staff change over) into Dawson in the Yukon using the free car ferry across the Yukon River. I finish up at Whitehorse and caught a plane to Calgary for the Stampede.
 
About 15 years ago one of my first stops is in Belgium was to head to the Dutch border to visit the enclave of Baarle Hertog and Baarle Nassau. One of about 60 enclaves in the world. The border crosses through houses, shops, etc. I remember being told of stories where if the taxation regime changed, overnight a door and a window would be swapped under the cover of darkness and the problem for the householder was solved.

DW wrote a great article on this with some interesting insights on what happened during Covid.

I had a great time and really recommend it for an off the beaten track adventure.

Wick and Thurso in Scotland as well as Penzance in England, all by train including the excellent 'Night Riviera' sleeping car train (also has a sitting car, but not recommended) as these were respectively the "far north" of 'mainland' Scotland if that's not a nonsensical description, and the far southwest of England, the latter not too far from Lands End, the most southwesterly point in Britain.

Have also been to two of three countries' Iguazu Falls' borders.
