Tips

As early as Roman times, the course of the Hill River – from the Weser estuary to its source – served as part of the dividing line between the administrative territories of Cologne (Civitas Coloniensis) and Tongeren (Civitas Tungriensis).

From 1816 onward, a national border also crossed the High Fens plateau: initially between the Netherlands and Prussia, from 1830 between Belgium and Prussia, and finally from 1870 between Belgium and Germany. This border ran south from Eupen, following the course of the Hill to its source, then continued towards Baraque Michel, and subsequently followed a so-called "New Vequée" to the vicinity of Hockai.

Very close by, the headwaters of the Hill.

Stone number 157 marks the end of the Belgian-Prussian border stone line, as from this point downstream the Hill extends so far that its natural course was clearly sufficient as a border marker.
