Göhltal Viaduct (Moresnet Viaduct)

Highlight • Bridge

The Moresnet viaduct is a 1200 metre long railway bridge over the Geul valley in Moresnet. It is one of the most famous railway bridges in Belgium. The bridge is part of railway line 24 (Montzenroute Antwerp-Aken), which was specially built for the transport of German artillery and troops to the front during the First World War in 1915-1916. The viaduct was renovated between 2002 and 2005. The bridge sections were replaced and the pillars were restored. The bridge connects to the Gemmenichertunnel in the east, which passes under the Vaalserberg. In the west lies the railway yard of Montzen station with the Remersdaal Tunnel behind it.
The viaduct consists of 22 steel double-track bridge sections, supported by 2 abutments, 5 support pillars and 16 ordinary pillars made of stamped concrete (a new technique at the time). Each of the bridge sections is 48 metres long and weighs approximately 260 tonnes.
The bridge is an important link in international freight traffic. It connects the German Aachen with the port of Antwerp and is located near the Montzen marshalling yard. The Moresnet bridge is therefore important for Belgium for its trade relations with Germany and with countries in Eastern Europe. Every day, 80 to 90 freight trains pass here in both directions.

Plombières Mine Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural Monument

The old mining site ('Site Calaminaire') in Plombières (Blieberg) has since been transformed into a European protected nature reserve. This area is protected because of all kinds of rare plant species that occur on the mining waste there. More information about this park can be found here: paysdeherve.be/nl/mijnsite-van-plombieres

Vaalserberg Three-Country Point

Highlight • Monument

With a height of no less than 322.4 meters above NAP, the Vaalserberg is the highest mountain in the Netherlands (with the exception of the mountains in the Caribbean). So you are standing on the roof of the Low Countries! The mountain is not only known for its height, but also for the three country point you will find here; here the borders of the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany meet. In addition, there are plenty of activities for young and old on and around the top, so hang out here for a while.
