View of the Heuvelland and Gulpen Valley

Highlight • Viewpoint

Super nice descent from the Beverberg towards Gulpen. Along the way you have a wide view over the rolling Heuvelland, with the village of Gulpen and the Gulpenerberg in the distance. Definitely worth it!

View of Gulpen and Gulpener Berg

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Hesselsweg and Knibusweg are easy to ride and are paved. Coming from the direction of Gulpen, the path is uphill.

The view over Eys and the Heuvelland is beautiful. The journey from Eys is quite demanding.

Three-Country Point and the Highest Point of the Netherlands (Vaalserberg)

Highlight • Summit

With a height of no less than 322.4 meters above NAP, the Vaalserberg is the highest mountain in the Netherlands (with the exception of the mountains in the Caribbean). So you are standing on the roof of the Low Countries! The mountain is not only known for its height, but also for the three country point you will find here; here the borders of the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany meet. In addition, there are plenty of activities for young and old on and around the top, so hang out here for a while.

Vaalserberg Three-Country Point

Highlight • Monument

The tri-border region (Drielandenpunt) is where Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands meet. It is also the highest point in the Netherlands (323 meters). An observation tower at the top gives an unobstructed view of the 3 countries.

View of Orsbach

Highlight • Viewpoint

Orsbach is a corner that I can wholeheartedly recommend. My tip: on a beautiful evening in spring or autumn you have an hour longer in Orsbach sun than on the other side of the valley in Vaals or Vijlen. In addition, the slope protects you from the north wind. Here you can enjoy an hour of scenery, views and warmth after your working day.
