Timeline
16:14
Start with dinner at 't Klukske. The 3-course chef's menu is a solid deal and the service is friendly. It is just a minute's walk from the church anchor.
16:44
H.H. Lambertus en Genovevakerk
Walk back through the hamlet to H.H. Lambertus en Genovevakerk. This 12th-century church is the heart of Holset. Use the remaining time to rest your legs and prepare for the walk to the border.
16:59
Head to the Border tripoint. The sun sets toward the WSW. Walk 54 minutes from the church to reach this spot where the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany meet. The small stone pillar marks the exact point.
17:19
After the sunset, take a quiet walk in Bloemendalpark. It is a short 31-minute walk from the church (or roughly 20 minutes from the tripoint area if you cut across, but stick to the path from the church anchor if you need to reorient). It is a peaceful way to end the evening.
Local tip
The walk to the tripoint is long (54 minutes). Start your meal early so you have enough time to walk there before the sun goes down. The border marker itself is unimpressive, but the location is unique.
Check before you go
- Confirm opening hours for 't Klukske before you go.
- The walk to the Border tripoint takes 54 minutes from the church. Plan your departure from dinner accordingly.
