Three Nations Converge
The Drielandenpunt (Dutch for 'Three-Country Point') is the unique geographical location where the borders of the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany meet, allowing visitors to stand in three countries simultaneously.
Dutch Peak
At 322.4 meters (1,058 ft) above NAP (Amsterdam Ordnance Datum), the Vaalserberg, where the Drielandenpunt is located, is the highest natural point in the European part of the Netherlands.
Lost Fourth Country
From 1816 to 1919, this location was a 'Four-Country Point' due to the neutral territory of Moresnet, a small, jointly administered area that existed between Belgium and Prussia (later Germany).
Hedge Maze Fun
A popular tourist attraction at the Drielandenpunt is the Drielandenpunt Labyrinth, a large hedge maze where visitors can get lost and find their way out, adding an element of playful adventure.
