Limburg

The province spans 2,153 square kilometers with a landscape of rolling hills, valleys, and the Meuse River flowing through its territory.

The Treaty of London in 1839 established modern Limburg as part of the Netherlands following the separation of Belgium from the Dutch Kingdom.

The Limburgish dialect continues as a recognized regional language, reflecting Germanic and Romance influences from neighboring regions throughout centuries.

Limburg maintains extensive transportation networks connecting Netherlands with Germany and Belgium through railways, highways, and waterways along the Meuse River.

The Vaalserberg marks the highest point in mainland Netherlands and forms a tripoint where Dutch, German, and Belgian borders intersect.
