Guided Story
Imagine standing at a spot where three countries blend into one. Just to your right, you'll notice the Three Borders monument, marking the meeting point of Belgium, Germany, and the Netherlands. Did you know that this area was once a hotspot for smugglers? Traders would use the cover of night to sneak goods across borders, taking advantage of its unique location. Look around; the landscape hasn't changed much since those days. Behind you, there's a thick forest that offered perfect hiding spots back then. As you explore this historic ground, you might hear the wind whispering tales from three different nations.
