According to local tradition, an old legend explains the origin of the Teufelsley (Devil's Rock). The devil was said to have been enraged because a monastery was to be built in the region. In his anger, he dislodged a massive boulder from the heights to destroy the structure. However, as he approached with the stone, an angel intervened, thwarting the devil's plan and stopping his attack. The rock brought by the devil then remained in its present location and has been called Teufelsley ever since.

The ideal starting point for a walk around the Rursee (approx. 27km). It is also not far to the Urft Dam (approx. 4km) and the former Nazi Ordensburg Vogelsang (approx. 10km).

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. (Wikipedia)

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

The Paulusdamm near the town of Rurberg separates the (actual) Rursee from the Obersee. The latter begins at Einruhr, where the Rur - coming from Monschau or further up the Belgian Fens - flows into the Obersee. This is a valuable water protection area and supplies many people in the greater Aachen area with drinking water. The Rursee below is also used by many water sports enthusiasts. The banks of the Obersee and Rursee are partly part of the Eifel National Park.

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.

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

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.
