Wilhelminatoren, Observation tower in Vaals, Netherlands
The 35-meter-high Wilhelminatoren stands at the highest point in the Netherlands, offering views across three countries from its glass skywalk platform.
Built in 1905 and named after Queen Wilhelmina, the tower underwent reconstruction after World War II damage and received a complete renovation in 2011.
The tower marks the meeting point of three European nations: the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany, representing cross-border connections in the region.
Visitors can access the tower through multiple hiking trails, including the Three Borders site loop from Steppenberg and Drielandenpunt loop from Gemmenich.
The observation deck features a progressive grid-like floor design that transitions from solid to transparent glass, creating different viewing experiences.
