베르비에‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 산 정상

Quite busy at this location

Remains one of my favorite climbs in the Ardennes. Definitely recommended with the fall colors!

After a challenging climb, you will reach the Three Borders area, which marks the meeting point between Belgium, the Netherlands, and Germany. This border is marked by marker 193. Also located here is the monument commemorating Pierre Roiseux, a war volunteer who died at this spot during the Battle of the Bulge on December 25, 1944.

North side of the Rosier, long gradual climb between the trees. Beautiful! Cotacol #815

Approaching from Spa: Even on a Sunday, there's little traffic. The further you get from Spa, the better the asphalt gets. After going downhill from Spa, the asphalt is pretty bad for the last 2 km.

The junction point between the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany is symbolized by a terminal. The site is also the highest point in the Netherlands. In season, the brasserie will allow you to eat and/or satisfy yourself after returning from one of the proposed hiking trails. The panoramic view must be exceptional from the top of the tower... but not for me, I'm afraid of heights!

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.
