Welcome to Zuid-Limburg

Great variety in a small space!

Zuid-Limburg is the southernmost and sunniest region of The Netherlands! Zuid-Limburg borders Germany in the east and Belgium in the south and west. As the centre of this border triangle, which includes Germany, The Netherlands and Belgium, Zuid-Limburg boasts a boundless diversity in a small area.

Different from the rest

To the south, Zuid-Limburg borders the foothills of the Ardennes (Belgium), High Fens (Belgium), and Eifel (Germany). This gives the region its character, which is not typical for the Netherlands at all; Zuid-Limburg’s wide and gently rolling hills are in strong contrast with the otherwise thoroughly flat Dutch landscape!

Meeting place of three countries, languages and cultures

The Vaalserberg, with its 322.5 meters (the highest point of The Netherlands) is located on the border triangle, named the  Drielandenpunt. The borders of Germany, Belgium and The Netherlands meet here.
