With a height of no less than 322.4 meters above NAP, the Vaalserberg is the highest mountain in the Netherlands (with the exception of the mountains in the Caribbean). So you are standing on the roof of the Low Countries! The mountain is not only known for its height, but also for the three country point you will find here; here the borders of the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany meet. In addition, there are plenty of activities for young and old on and around the top, so hang out here for a while.

When can you be in three countries at the same time? Belgium, Netherlands and Germany. At times it was even a four-country point, because the northern part of the neutral Moresnet area also came up against the country borders here. The small state came into being in 1815 when the Netherlands and Prussia could not agree on the division of the area rich in calamine. So it was neutralized and jointly administered. In 1919 the existence of Neutral Moresnet ended with its incorporation into the Kingdom of Belgium. The national borders can now be read from the steel bands in the ground.

The highest point in the Netherlands coincides with the three-country point and is an important tourist attraction.
