Expedition

Fippe

In the morning, I walked to Osnabrück Central and took the train via Düsseldorf to Aachen-West. There, I rented an e-bike and cycled the rest of the distance.

In Vaals, I first crossed the border into the Netherlands, and after a few minutes, I crossed the forest border into Belgium. The coordinates were not far now, I parked the bike and approached the mast meters on foot. I located the coordinates among some holly trees and bare conifers, recorded proof, and walked back to the bicycle.

Next, I checked out the nearby tripoint, where the territories of Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany meet. It used to be a quadripoint in the days of Neutral Moresnet, a condominium of Belgium and Prussia that the Esperanto community declared its world capital. At 322 meters above the sea, the Vaalserberg also is the highest point of the European Netherlands.

Afterwards, I cycled to Aachen Central, took the train via Herzogenrath and Düsseldorf to Osnabrück Central and walked back home.
