Vaals

Vaals is a small city and municipality in the South Limburg region, in the Dutch province Limburg, comprising the very southeasternmost corner of the Netherlands. It is right on both the Belgian and German borders, with the much larger German city of Aachen just a stone's throw away. A popular holiday destination for Dutch domestic tourists, the town is surrounded by the rolling hills this region is famous for and is known for its beautiful landscapes.
