First the highest point in Belgium! - a rather bleak gravel car park beside a restaurant in the middle of a forest at Signal de Botrange, surrounded by gently undulating wooded hills. At 694m they have built a small tower so you can get to 700m. - see left.
A short drive north and we were at the highest point in the Netherlands at Vaalserberg, 321m, again situated near a car park with numerous restaurants, marked trails and entertainment. Around 20 yds from the highest point is the place where Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany meet. Slightly more appealing than Botrange and surrounded by beautiful deciduous woodland.
Following this excitement we had to camp at Osseo - Camping in the Dutch Mountains! - well - gently undulating hills a bit like Leicestershire (without the hedges).
