Vaalserberg, Netherlands
After leaving Monschau, Germany, Ed & Liesbeth drove us to the Vaalserberg, which is the centre where three countries meet. It is also the highest part of Holland - and that isn't very high at all.
The Vaalserberg 'Mount Vaals' is a hill 1,059 ft 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.
The Vaalserberg is also noted for being the location where the borders of three countries intersect, giving its summit the name of Drielandenpunt ("Three-Country Point") in Dutch, or Dreiländereck ("Three-Country Corner") in German, or Trois Frontières ("Three Borders") in French.
