Vaals: Dreiländerpunkt Vaals: Dreiländerpunkt No Data

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


Free to look at the meeting point, charge for the other attractions on site

Getting There

From Aachen the easiest way is on the open-top city tour sightseeing bus. Alternatively take the 350 bus (every 30 minutes, about 30 minutes) to Vaals bus station and change there onto the 159 bus (hourly, weekends only except during Dutch school holidays, about 10 minutes) to the park. If the 159 isn't running it's about a miles uphill walk from Vaals to the park.
