Culture

The Vaalserberg is a hill which is noted for being the place where the borders of three countries intersect which are Drielandenpunt in Dutch, or Dreiländereck in German, or Trois Frontières in French.

Between 1830 and 1919 it even was a Vierlandenpunt or see Moresnet for the now missing fourth one. This border intersection has made the Vaalserberg well-known tourist magnetism in the Netherlands with a tower on the Belgian side.
