vaalserberg

The Vaalserberg ("Mount Vaals") is a hill of 321 metres in height, the highest point in the Netherlands. It is located in the province of Limburg, at the southeasternmost edge of the country in the municipality of Vaals, near the eponymous town, some three kilometres west of Aachen.

Three-Country Point

The Vaalserberg is also noted for being the location where the borders of three countries intersect, similar to the United States' Four Corners, giving its summit the name of Drielandenpunt ("Three-Country Point") or Dreilndereck in German. The touching countries are the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. Between 1830 and 1919 it even was a Vierlandenpunt or "Four-Country Point"; see Moresnet for the now missing fourth one. This border intersection has made the Vaalserberg a well-known tourist attraction in the Netherlands with a tower on the Belgian side offering a grand panorama of the surrounding landscape.
