  1. Denmark is like 

    “whats the weather like down there Netherlands? Hahahah”

  2. I’m dumb, how is this calculated? For Belgium it would be lowest 0, highest 670 or sth. How do they take the average of that?

  3. I’m surprised Spain is higher than Italy. I guess I’ll have to go there and inspect it personally.

  4. It’s the third time that I see this exact map being used for completely different things.

  5. The low lands represent! Netherlands means low lands 🙂

  6. In Denmark we are not driving to work we are sailing there

  7. So to which alternate universe did we Dutch people migrate?

    Having said that, if I need to choose one country to join us in an alternate universe, I’d definitely be okay with Denmark.

  8. The color choice for this map is horrible. It makes Netherlands and Denmark seem like they don’t exist because the color for low height is so close to the white background.

  9. I was always told that the only country with higher average elevation than Spain was Switzerland. Seems I have been lied since forever. Also, what is Portugal number?

  10. I’m surprised Hungary is so low, considering it’s surrounded by mountains. what are you basin these figures on?

  11. The highest point in the European Netherlands is 322.4 meters (1,058 ft) above sea level. We call it the Vaalser Mountain.

    It’s on that same mountain where the tripoint between Belgium, Germany and The Netherlands is. It’s open borders so it’s just a marker.

  12. Turkey is full of mountains near the coasts and the entirety of Eastern Anatolia. Even without the mountains many cities are hilly (Istanbul’s other name is “The City With Seven Hills” for example)
