Herzogenrath
Germany
This German border town in the Aachen district of North Rhine-Westphalia, Herzogenrath sits directly alongside the Dutch town of Kerkrade, with the national boundary running along the middle of a main road and even through the shared Eurode office complex. Coal mining shaped the town for centuries. The wider region is ringed by UNESCO World Heritage sites, and the compact centre has a concentration of cafés and restaurants.
