Vaals 🇳🇱

Vaals is a town in the extreme southeastern part of the Dutch province of Limburg, itself in the southeast of the Netherlands. It is situated in the western foothills of the Ardennes–Eifelrange and directly adjoins both Belgium and Germany. As such three national borders meet at a point known as the Drielandenpunt and very near the highest point in the Netherlands, the Vaalserberg.

The story 📖

If the snow doesn’t come to me, then I’ll go to the snow! A short walk through the forests of Vaals, with a brief crossing over the German border, so I could take some old-fashioned black-and-white photos of this magical winter scene.
