Border marker 281 was placed on the road to Sint Jansteen. Probably an important road in the past, now a forest road on both sides of the border.

Here you are at border post 281.
Historical interpretation:
After the separation between the Northern and Southern Netherlands in 1830, the border had to be officially established. Since 1843, there have been 369 cast iron border posts between the three-country point in Vaals and the Zwin in Knokke.
