네덜란드‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 산 정상

Please note: The Emma Pyramid, the tower that can be climbed, is temporarily closed. All routes are still accessible. The tower itself cannot be climbed for safety reasons. This is temporary, as maintenance still needs to be scheduled.

Very tough, the first part 22% then another 400 meters at 15%

Beautiful climb to Sibbe wooded area 🎄

Brilliant descent down to Valkenburg.

Driving down is also possible, but you have to brake quite hard.

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

As early as the late Middle Ages, the border of the former Aachen Empire, fortified with the Aachen Moat, ran from south to north across the ridge of the Vaalserberg. From 1839 to 1919, the Vaalserberg, with the disputed area of Neutral Moresnet as the fourth country, was even a four-country corner (Vierlandenpunt), which is still remembered in the name of the access road on the Dutch side - Viergrenzenweg. During the First World War, from 1915 to 1918, the high-voltage border barrier stretched along the Belgian-Dutch border for a length of 300 kilometers from the then four-country corner on the Vaalserberg to the Belgian North Sea coast near Knokke. The German invasion of Belgium in 1914 via Gemmenich to Diksmuide, which brought much suffering to the Belgian population, is commemorated by a memorial made of compressed war material at the southern tip of the Vaalserberg, called Via Dolorosa.

From the Hulzenberg lookout tower you have an amazing view of the area. The tower itself is 21 meters high, but once you are at the top you are almost 100 meters above NAP.
