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.

With a height of 322.5 m, the Vaalserberg is the highest natural elevation in the Netherlands - at least in the European part of the country. The national borders between Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands run across the mountain.

The Vaalserberg has been included in the cycling classic Amstel Gold Race several times. The climb is then conquered once via the Dutch side (east side), as the eleventh climb after the Camerig and before the Gemmenicherweg. In the Amstel Gold Race the slope is referred to as Drielandenpunt.

The Vaalserberg is a hill near the Dutch village of Vaals with a height of 322.4 metres above sea level. Near the top of the hill is the tri-border point, where the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany meet. The top of the Vaalserberg is the highest point in the European Netherlands.

Literally our highlight in the Netherlands. Very touristy, of course, but remains a classic trip.

Dreiländerpunkt: Because the borders of three countries meet here, this place has become an attraction for tourists, with 800,000 visitors a year. At the same time the highest point in the Netherlands at 322.5 meters above sea level, the three-country point also stands for the historically grown similarities and connections between the inhabitants of the three-country region.

Exactly at this point you are at 323 meters above sea level and thus at the highest point of the mainland of the Netherlands. But here it is more like an amusement park than a summit.

With 322-324 m (depending on the zero point) the highest mountain in the Netherlands (Caribbean times excluded) and then this must also be shared with Belgium and Germany ;-)
