    It's way too hard because I couldn't come up with anything. Well, it's located near the Dutch-Belgian border and right next to the only stream which flows from the Netherlands to Belgium. You get double rep if you can find it.

    I cannot even determine if anything flows the Netherlands to Belgium. All rivers seem to flow north, the opposite way.

    I think he's reffering to the Maas

    In Dutch, a small stream is called a 'beek' (pronunciation very close to the English 'bake')

    It is located in a Flemish exclave, the stream I mentioned flows into the river that gives the region its name. It isn't very long or big and annoyingly google maps makes it seem as if it starts just inside Belgium. The next one will be easier, I promise.

    Oh, that exclave information made it easy. It must be Altembrouck.

    Oh you can marry there? To marry in a building, which locks from the front more like an sanatory than a castle has some sex appeal.^^

    It is indeed Altembrouck, I went on a walk which passed the place last week.

    No. Sorry, but I cannot. Me and women just do not mix well. But I agree about the sanatory-like appeal.

    However, this interesting populated place is very unique in many ways and serves as an excellent substitute for a romantic relationship for the time being. I didn't do much to search engine proof it, but we are big boys and girls and can play without cheating.

    Supai, Havasupai Indian Reservation, located in the Grand Canyon.

    Correct. It is a very remote community accessible by hiking only and, for that reason, has the only US post office that gets mail delivered by donkeys.

    May I ask you if you knew that place before or did you have to do some research? Go ahead and post a picture.

    I thought the most likely candidates were the Australian Outback and the American West, this popped up when I googled "village in canyon".

    I am sorry that it took me so long, but I had to get some groceries from a store nearby. This is Salisbury Cathedral.
