Are there any mountains in the Netherlands or Belgium?

Answer 1

There's elevated terrain between Utrecht and Arnhem, known as the Veluwezoom. Slightly higher are the glacial hills near 's-Heerenberg (east of Arnhem) and Nijmegen, also recommended as beautiful natural terrain. The highest 'peaks' are in the far South of the Limburg province, where the landscape starts rolling towards the Ardennes region. Still, don't expect anything much over 300 metres in elevation - so in short, there aren't any mountains.

There are mountains in Europe though, contrary to what an extremely daft lass commented here before. You'd be well impressed in Switzerland, Italy, France and Austria especially, there's some decent hills in Scotland and Germany and any other country will have mountains over 2500 metres. Apart from the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Denmark, Finland and Sweden, that is.

Answer 2

If memory serves right, I believe that the low countries are only Belgium (that's to say Flanders) and the Netherlands. Before 1830 these two where one country, namely the Netherlands. And the name already says it... Netherlands = Nederland... with "neder" in old Dutch could be translated as "low". Why is it called low? Very simple...we don't have any mountains maybe just a few modest hills... So low countries are called that way because they are flat...

They are called the low countries, as in "Nederlands" (=low countries in Dutch) in Netherlands. In general we can say the elevation of these countries are at sea-level or just above. There are a few mountains in Belgium at 600 and 700 meters above sealevel, nothing impressive though. Historically : In 1549 the Emperor Charles V declared in his document "The pragmatic Sanction" that the territories that were united under the Burgundian ruler from now on would be not divisible and would be retained as a unity through heritage. He introduces the name Netherlands to seperate the territory from France and the german territory.

Answer 4

Holland is flat, but Belgium has the Ardennes, they are mountains although not very big ones, less than 1000 meters elevation, but technically you can ski on them and they're beautiful to visit in the summer

Answer 5

The closest we get to a mountain would be the hill in Valkenburg (Limburg) and for Belgium the Ardennen are well known, I cycled there and eventhough they are not that high, it was quite a workout : )

Answer 6

Nope, but we have a lot of dykes. :)

The Belgium Ardennes are more high, but still no mountains. It's more like hills.
