Vaalserberg
Mountain
The highest point of the Netherlands, where three countries meet.
In the far south-east of the Netherlands, near the village of Vaals, the ground rises to 322 metres above sea level. Nowhere in the European part of the country is higher.
On top is the point where the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany touch. You can walk around a marker stone and be in three countries in three steps.
