Ascent to Dreiländerpunkt via Gemmenicherweg

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

This route starts in the Aachen city area – initially between houses, but soon you're immersed in greenery. The first one and a half kilometers are only slightly uphill. After that, the gradient increases slightly over the next 1.5 kilometers, fluctuating between 4 and 7% – never extreme, but consistently challenging.

The final stretch to the tri-border point is flatter again and invites you to coast. Shortly before the finish, you'll encounter a short gravel section, but this is easily rideable on a road bike.

Overall, a nice, moderate climb with a good flow and a special destination: the tri-border point, where Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands meet.

Vaalserberg Three-Country Point

Highlight • Monument

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.

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

The most beautiful side to reach the Drielandenpunt. Beautiful vistas to Belgium and make sure that you do not fall under the open middle section because the last straight line is a vicious ...
