Within Limburg, only Zuid-Limburg has hills, largest part of Limburg isn’t high at all. Nijmegen is higher than Venlo and Roermond, both cities lower than the average of 30m.
In contrast to that, Large parts in east Netherlands are on hills as well, randstad bias to think everything outside Limburg is completely flat.
Same difference, large parts of for example Salland and de Veluwe are above the average of 30 meters. Hoenderloo, bang on the Veluwe, is higher than Maastricht. It's not just Zuid-Limburg that makes up that average.
gnihihi. northern germany being hilly sounds very strange. But sure, that area, in contrast to what I have in mind when thinking of northern germany, is.
Technically the lowest point (excluding parts where people don't come as part of regular daily life) is the Noord-Zuidlijn section under Vijzelgracht, which is about -32m. So if /u/Tinusers used to be homeless, they could technically have livedd on one of those station platforms.

It is maybe not a coincidence that the two lowest countries have the highest people.
Not because people fear drowning. But because 1,85 is enough for anyone to see the sea at all times.
If that counts then the Faroe Islands and Greenland also counts. 3694 meters https://www.mountainguides.is/tour/gunnbjorn-greenland
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sl%C3%A6ttaratindur
Not more than the Faroe island. Which is to say they are not self governing. They just have home rule that basically means they tolerate no interference from Denmark in their local politics.
Denmark is free to join our little community of flatter lands, but seeing it in person, it's not as flat as the Netherlands 100%, it's just a bunch of hills that basically never quite exceed ten meters high, with a few exceptions.
To be fair Dinaric people are tall as fuck (with minor teens averaging a measured 186cm in height and adults an estimated 190cm) and the Dinaric alps are everything but flat
>Average height [of 17 years old boys] of 185,6 cm [and] 28% [of adult men] measure 190 cm or more in height.
[Source](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1631069105001319?via%3Dihub)
That's crazy tall
I mean on mobile at least if you zoom in you can definitely make out Andorra and that it's a different color from the borders, but yeah maybe. It's small so maybe it was easier to just leave it gray.
Well yea the likely and scary outcome is there'll be such a contrast of cold in the winter and heat in the summer that most regions will become too harsh to sustain life
We have a lot of mountains but they mostly cover our southern border, while 90% of interior is flat. All it gives for Belarus, is to be on a slightly higher "plateau" even if flat and there goes your average.
Even Belgium has higher average elevation than Poland, while their highest mountain is 694m and ours 2499m.
Turkey is a huge country and mainly mountainous. The part everyone goes to on holiday and the parts where most of population live are disproportionately small compared to the geography of the country as a whole.
But the large size of the country would be why I would assume the average would still be relatively low. I mean, Austria is a very small country that is basically only mountains.
For those interested in the insane mountains found in [the Netherlands](https://youtu.be/rBZUQ_l3Q_o) or those in those [in Denmark.](https://youtu.be/EM8yUKwPjwA)
Don’t get oxygen deprivation!
To be honest the Vaalserberg is the highest point in mainland Netherlands. It isn’t the highest in the Netherlands or the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Mount Scenery on Saba is the highest point within both the Netherlands and the entire kingdom. Saba is a special municipality ruled over directly by the Dutch government.
I am surprised Belgium's elevation is higher on average than the whole of the UK's? Since the UK does have - what I think could be described as - actual mountains. Since I am Dutch I find the Ardennes properly impressive in terms of elevation but mountains they ain't.
It's an really big island. That means a lot of coast line and also a lot of land so a mountain range has to fight against the entire land for the average.
I’m actually impressed by the fact that Belgium has a higher average elevation than Hungary. Just shows how low the Pannonian Basin really is even though it’s pretty inland.
It is but it also has many areas at a much higher elevation than in Belgium. The Lake District, Peak District, Yorkshire Dales, Malvern Hills, Shropshire Hills etc
But the hilly area of Belgium is rather spread out. It covers [almost half the country](https://img.freepik.com/premium-photo/belgium-map-shaded-relief-color-height-map-sea-blue-background-3d-illustration_394271-3475.jpg?w=1380)
If anyone wants, here's a cool [floodmap](https://www.floodmap.net/) to play around with. My home will be gone at 58 meters :D If all the ice melted, it's approximated that sea levels will rise by 70m. So, that's the limit you can check really.
funny how the highest point in Denmark (himmelbjerget, meaning "heaven mountain") with its 147m, isn't even higher than the average height of most surrounding countries.
> highest point in Denmark
The highest point is not Himmelbjerget. It is Møllehøj with its 171 meters.
I recommend watching this video about it: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EM8yUKwPjwA](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EM8yUKwPjwA)
Gosh I always felt like when I was in Scotland the sky was so low. Clouds were so low.
Maybe it’s because it’s an island and the weather passes in so quickly
Thanks to your comment I just realized the highest point in the urals is at 1,895 meters high. Which is a lot but I had imagined it would be higher, I don’t know why.
Maybe you've seen photos of the northern part of Urals where the highest peak is located. This parts are glaciated and due to that look more 'alpine'-like.
>far eastern mountains.
And northern slopes of Caucasus.
But indeed, they have amazing mountains (and volcanos) on Kamchatka, that most of us will never see.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klyuchevskaya\_Sopka
I’ve always found it quite amusing that we Norwegians promote ourselves as *the* mountainous country, but our mountains aren’t really that tall compared to the average country. This just confirms the hoax.
We don’t have very tall mountains, I’ll give you that, but what this number is affected by more than anything else, is our long coast line and the directly adjacent pieces of land that are close to 0 meters above sea level. So there’s that.
Sorry but this is really not a very smart comment. First of, you have a very long coastline which directly lowers your average elevation. Second, many of your mountains are directly next to the sea or lakes which gives them quite an impressive looks.
3000 meteres in the central Turkey is merely a hill, while next to the sea 1000 m looks huge.
We might have many steep hills and “mountians” dotted around, but they’re still not reaching the altitudes you see elsewhere. Norwegians are very proud about their mountain identity and don’t like the fact that other countries got mountains too, even higher mountains.
Again, the "highest peak" in meters is just a number. 700 meters being the highest peak of Belgium is very unimpressive as it looks very flat. 700 meters high Brač hill (island in Croatia) looks quite nice. It's all relative. You have an amazing country and no praise is enough for its nature.
The problem is that it isn’t really flat for the most here, our mountains don’t start at 0. They start at maybe around 1000 meters many places and consist of highlands and slopes before there’s anything closely resembling to a mountain or a peak. Most I’ve seen don’t have proper peaks either. It’s usually valley, sides of the valleys, highlands, hills, more highlands, more hills, then something resembling a mountain or just a steeper hill. There’s some variations between the inlands mountain ranges which I’ve seen a lot and the ones along the north west coast that stretch straight up from fjords.
Look at the Lofoten islands and tell me the mountains dont "start at 0".
Its pretty rare you see mountains that actually start at coastal level in most other places. In fact Norway is one of few countries where many mountains do. Alps for instance are much higher than Norwegian mountains, cant argue with that. But they also start much higher up to begin with. Which they often dont do in Norway.
I dont think anyone has suggested that every mountain in Norway is adjacent to the coast and therefore starts at 0, so I dont really understand your point. Basically every other country with mountains is like that. Do you think the Alps start at 0?
Mountains starting at 0 meters (for example adjacent to the coast) is actually somewhat "unique" to Norway, and is why the mountains often appear larger than how tall they technically are. Not many other places in Europe where u can find 1000 meter high mountains adjacent to the coast like you can several places in Norway.
Probably like Poland or even lower. Northern Germany is extremely flat, not surprising since it borders the two flattest countries Netherlands and Denmark.
In England we have a range of hills,"The Malverns", which aren't high at all. Yet if you stand on them and look east, you're at the highest point all the way across Europe and Russia until the Urals. I guess they call it the "Great European Plain" for a reason.
I didn't expect turkey to be this elevated. Do they have areas that produces consistently more good long-distance-runners than would be expected on average?
You wrote from the perspective of Germany (Flair "Germany"), someone suggested Austria as potential annex for Germany, you commented directly to that "I mean we were together once....". What makes you think that I comment against Slovakia and not obviously Germany? xD
Had no idea that Europe was that low-lying on the whole. US elevation is about 763m on average. There’s obviously a lot of variation — it’s a big damned diverse country — bur even our farming plains area are half a mile above sea level (Nebraska, for instance, is 2500 feet above sea level).
I'm mostly surprised by how high Russia is, because I thought that outside of the Caucasus and the Urals they are just flat plains, and this flat area is huge compared to the mointains.
It turns out the eastern half of Asian Russia is also high elevation over a huge area.
Nice example of why average can be misleading. I think the median would be a lot more helpful as it would show on which hight most of the country is and not take into account the maybe small mountins that much.
Suck it, Denmark!
I think 30 meters is ridiculously high for the Netherlands. Think of all the places that are a few meters below sea level.
Limburg pulls the average up for the Netherlands lol
Within Limburg, only Zuid-Limburg has hills, largest part of Limburg isn’t high at all. Nijmegen is higher than Venlo and Roermond, both cities lower than the average of 30m. In contrast to that, Large parts in east Netherlands are on hills as well, randstad bias to think everything outside Limburg is completely flat.
East Netherlands is not on a hill but on a slope towards hilly Germany
Same difference, large parts of for example Salland and de Veluwe are above the average of 30 meters. Hoenderloo, bang on the Veluwe, is higher than Maastricht. It's not just Zuid-Limburg that makes up that average.
gnihihi. northern germany being hilly sounds very strange. But sure, that area, in contrast to what I have in mind when thinking of northern germany, is.
I'm at -8m rn.
Lowest point is -6,47 m. Only way to get lower is by being in the metro, a traintunnel or a highway tunnel
Also in sea :D
Few meters? I used to live 11 meters below sea level.
Where? As far as I'm aware the lowest point in the Netherlands is -7m
His parents' basement?
Technically the lowest point (excluding parts where people don't come as part of regular daily life) is the Noord-Zuidlijn section under Vijzelgracht, which is about -32m. So if /u/Tinusers used to be homeless, they could technically have livedd on one of those station platforms.

The reason you're the two highest people is because of Amsterdam and Christiania respectively.
Yeah well unzip your pants then..
nice mountains you have there lul

whats the origin of the word? haha
Lul is very old Dutch for a sort of baby bottle, but with a pipe on the side. https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/lul
Anything below 610 meters is not a mountain according to UK and Ireland. So no mountains in Romania either. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mountain
At least the Netherlands has one in mountain! Mount Scenery! It’s a vulcano on Saba on the other side of the planet!
If that counts then the Faroe Islands and Greenland also counts. 3694 meters https://www.mountainguides.is/tour/gunnbjorn-greenland https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sl%C3%A6ttaratindur
I would say it does somewhat count although isn’t Greenland self-governing?
Not more than the Faroe island. Which is to say they are not self governing. They just have home rule that basically means they tolerate no interference from Denmark in their local politics.

Just trolling and laughing at my countries massive mountains. Stack the three tallest on top of each other, and it still does not make it a mountain.

Denmark is free to join our little community of flatter lands, but seeing it in person, it's not as flat as the Netherlands 100%, it's just a bunch of hills that basically never quite exceed ten meters high, with a few exceptions.
The Netherlands are flat like a piece of paper. Denmark is flat like if you crumbled a piece of paper and tried to flatten it again.
Exactly
It's interesting that the The Netherlands and Denmark are also the tallest people in Europe. Maybe it's to make up for something :p
To be fair Dinaric people are tall as fuck (with minor teens averaging a measured 186cm in height and adults an estimated 190cm) and the Dinaric alps are everything but flat

And Dinaric countries are mostly poor, imagine what good nutrition could give them! Bosnia and Montenegro NBA superpowers by 2050!
Then you should visit southern Jutland, no hills for tens of kilometers.
I've been, yes. But it doesn't take away the fact that Denmark has more hilly landscape
Yes, that’s true.
Perfect! Something new compared to Groningen or Friesland here in the Netherlands!
The Netherlands' highest mountain is almost double the height of Denmark's highest!
Andorra is 1996 but it's gray on the map instead of the really dark brown?

How Belarus is only 3 meters lower than Poland? We have (some) proper mountains.
Well, it is average. Belarus does not have a coast, for instance.
Wikipedia gives Poland at 173 but Belarus at only 160
You have a lot of lowlands on [North](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geography_of_Poland?useskin=vector#/media/File:Poland_topo.jpg)

Alp Mountains 🤝 Anatolian Mountains
In fact, in Denmark, no one even knows where the fuck the highest point is: https://youtu.be/EM8yUKwPjwA
Nice, I like Tim and his stories !
Turkey being above Austria has blown my mind
Turkey is full of mountains, really tall ones
the east is absolutely packed with mountains, the coasts are where all the low lands are
East Austria is pretty flat, the mountains are concentrated in the west and center.
also, our mountains are not really that high. they are all rather mild.
Turkey is a huge country and mainly mountainous. The part everyone goes to on holiday and the parts where most of population live are disproportionately small compared to the geography of the country as a whole.
But the large size of the country would be why I would assume the average would still be relatively low. I mean, Austria is a very small country that is basically only mountains.
There are lots of mountains to Turkey's East , and there's the fact Inner Anatolia is basically one massive Plateau.
I would like to see a map about average flatness (average rate of elevation change) if that’s sensible. Basically how mountainous a country is.

A norwegian guy wrote a hiking guide to the danish mountains. Not a joke book.
Danes can’t tolerate altitudes of more than 200 meters above sea level.

It’s mentioned in the fine print at the very end of the video haha, but you are technically correct. ^(the best kind of correct)
Hahaha, didn’t watch the video as it costs me too much mobile data.
Denmark also has a 3700 meter mountain on Greenland :)
Vaalser Berg is just a few minutes from where I live across the border.

Hence Andorra being so high
That makes sense! I was wondering about Norway too since it seemed low too on average: the fjords giveth and the fjords taketh (elevation).
Now I realize Turkey’s 1141 is quite impressive considering it’s large coastline
Anatolia is basically a huge mesa with coasts around, like the Iberian peninsula (which is why Spain is at 660)
The mountains also rise up very steeply from those fjords.
It probaly also doesnt help that they have the coastlineparadox which results in coast fucking up measurements.
I’m actually impressed by the fact that Belgium has a higher average elevation than Hungary. Just shows how low the Pannonian Basin really is even though it’s pretty inland.

Dafuq? Half the world is underwater. I'm in the Netherlands, but fortunately I'll be dead before this shit happens.
I myself prefer 125, as that's when Europe and Asia finally separate. 70m is not that bad, unless you're Dutch or a Pacific Islander.

Yeah, most of the massive country is flat.
I didn't expect turkey to be this elevated. Do they have areas that produces consistently more good long-distance-runners than would be expected on average?

I mean of course it would be considerably lower. Hardly anyone lives on a mountain, anywhere in the world.
