Drielandenpunt
Drielandenpunt marks the point where the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany meet, and sits on the Vaalserberg, the highest natural point in the mainland Netherlands — a modest 322 meters, but enough to give it a genuine, if very Dutch-scale, sense of elevation and view. A small maze and various tourist facilities have grown up around the tripoint marker itself, making it a bit more developed and commercial than the natural landmark alone might suggest.
It's a novelty destination as much as a scenic one — the appeal is standing in three countries at once and the modest hilltop views, rather than any deep historical or cultural content, and it works best as a half-day trip out of Maastricht.
