Aachen: Dreiländerpunkt
Description
The point where Germany, The Netherlands and Belgium all meet. The meandering roadway up to the point (which is also the highest point in Netherlands) passes backwards and forwards through the border so many times that you don't actually know which country you are approaching from, until you see all the Dutch flags at the entry. The point itself is marked with a small pillar which you can walk round or stand in two different country's. A large family oriented area has grown up around the point with mazes, viewing platforms, playgrounds and cafes.
Charge
