Interestingly, the spanish highest point pictured there is actually nowhere to be seen on this map, as it’s located in the Canary islands, further to the south.

Likewise for Portugal. Its highest point is Pico, in the Azores archipelago.

As long as we can still get access to the water from said mountain to brew beer, it doesn’t matter :D

What is that 5165m mountain? I’ve always been told that the Mont-Blanc was the highest mountain of Europe and now I’m confused.

EDIT: Ararat mount in East Turkey. Considered an Asian mountain on Wikipedia.

Probably something in the Caucasus, or at least in Asian Turkey

Denmark is super flat. I believe the highest point is the pylons of the bridge between the two Major islands, Funen and Zealand.

If we count all man made structures, I believe there are 18 radio transmitter towers that are taller than the bridge pylons.

The only reason the Netherlands has that high a number, is because of the hill on which the Dutch, German, and Belgian borders meet. If you take Limburg out of the equation, the next highest point is 110 meters.

In two of the Dutch provinces, the highest point is a garbage dump hill.

Which two provinces?

According to wikipedia, Noord Brabant and Drenthe. My “research” hasn’t gone any deeper than that.
