    Tips

    June 28, 2024

    The exact point is nicely shown with a large red pole. A bench has been made right on the border, where you can sit with your buttocks in the Netherlands and your feet in Germany. The tip is also exactly above the middle of a stream. That is the Rode Beek, which rises on the Brunssummerheide and forms the national border here. The part of Germany here, called Selfkant, is special anyway. First of all, because it is a kind of peninsula in the Netherlands. Selfkant's border with the Netherlands is 27 kilometers; the connection with Germany itself is only 8 kilometers. Selfkant was also from the Netherlands for a long time. At the end of the war, the Netherlands wanted very large parts of Germany as compensation for the damage suffered. But the Netherlands was ultimately allocated only a small amount of territory, including Selfkant. In 1963 the Netherlands even returned it to Germany. In exchange for 280 million Deutsche Mark, that is.

      Beautifully landscaped area at the westernmost point of Germany. Unfortunately, the toilet 🚽 next to the exhibition is closed, the parking lot at Westpoint is more than sufficient.

        A few minutes linger in the beautiful nature by a clear brook and birds singing!
        And the nearby forest invites you to go for a walk.

          From 1949, Selfkant was Dutch territory for 14 years. Since 1963, this region has been part of the Federal Republic of Germany again, and border marker 309B is the westernmost point in the country. The Narrowest Part of the Netherlands is connected to the meeting place on the German side, created in 2015, by a pedestrian bridge over the stream. Experience this special place by literally sitting in both Germany and the Netherlands simultaneously on the bench at the Westzipfel.

            The idea of marking the outermost points of Germany in all four directions is quite funny. The westernmost vantage point is very well maintained and is popular with day trippers.

                    This is absolutely not worth a walk, it is a walk on bike paths y highways.
                    The worst walk ever taken.
