Vaalserberg, Summit and tripoint at Vaals, Netherlands
Vaalserberg rises to 322 meters above sea level, marking the highest elevation point in mainland Netherlands near the German and Belgian borders.
From 1830 to 1919, Vaalserberg served as a quadripoint, including the neutral territory of Moresnet alongside Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany.
The Wilhelminatoren observation tower on the Dutch side and Baudouin Tower on the Belgian section provide viewing platforms for visitors.
A large parking area at the base connects to paved roads named Viergrenzenweg, Route des Trois Bornes, and Dreiländerweg from respective country approaches.
The mountain peak functions as an intersection point where three national territories meet, featuring border markers and educational displays about geographical boundaries.
