After visiting Vaals (which is rather underwhelming- but great to stock up on picnic provisions) we drove up to the Drielandenpunt. After the first tower keep going and park up (€2 to park with coins on exit).
There are cafes, gift shop and playground areas. There is a monument to the highest point in the Netherlands and of course the flags to mark the meeting of the three borders - lots of photo opportunities here! The tower can be climbed / use lift for really spectacular views (€3.50 each) into Belgium, Holland and Germany.
The children also enjoyed the maze (€4 for children) Which took them about half an hour to explore while parents enjoyed a drink!
Overall very interesting place to visit.

We have visited this place several times with friends. For a budget fee he takes you along in the art of glas-blwing (blazing).
He shows his craftmanship and Always succeeds in involving his guests. Afterwards you can have a free look around in the shop. Nobody is pushing to buy something

A nice quiet place in Vaals for this circuit. The karts are not that fast. You can easily driver the circuit without braking and full gas. Personnel is friendly, safety is okay. The only thing for improvement is the speed of the karts to create a more difficult handling of the kart. For the rest a perfecr place for a round.

Voor €5 p/p kan je in de kapel tientallen grote heiligenbeelden aanschouwen en in alle stilte je eigen naamheilige opsporen. Wij vonden ze wel na een poosje. Je kan een relaas laten afdrukken. Nadien wat nuttigen in het aanpalend café aan een zeer democratische prijs.

The Abbey of Saint Beneductus near Mamelis is build in 1923,a nd designed by the architect Dominicus Boehm. It is a peacefull and quiet place, where one can enjoy the ‘singing in the silence’ of the monchs, the Gregorian chant. It is situated near a forest where one can walk and reflect. I have been here several times, and it always boosts my energy, and reduces any stress level. The monchs are very polite. The food is good and tasty, and on Sundays one even gets a bottle of beer (as the monchs) during the meal. The church in which the Gregorian chants are sung is designed by Dom Hans van de Laan, who became very famous with this architectural style. He went back to the essence of a building, which led to a sober, but very functional church.
