바알‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 천연기념물

The Ardennes begin gradually in the Dutch-Belgian border region. There are wonderfully expansive views of the landscape.

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.

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.

Great resting place to watch the climbing friends.

Very nice climbing wall. You can also take a break there.

These are the Rocher du Casino at Kelmis. Rather small climbing area and good mix of difficulties. Quasi the home rock of climbers from Aachen and the surrounding area.

A nice resting place on a climbing rock.
