Point of Interest

Wilhelminatoren - Vaals
Lookout tower on the Vaalserberg ridge - height and long views over three countries.

Fort de Battice - Battice
Large pre-WWII Belgian fort, fought over during the German invasion of May 1940. Worth a short detour, even just for the exterior.

Abbaye du Val-Dieu - Aubel
Abbey in a quiet green valley, with cafe and brewery atmosphere. The best rest stop on the route.

Uitkijktoren Mescherheide - Mesch
Lookout tower with wide views over the Maas valley and the Dutch-Belgian border country. Superb in clear evening light.
