    I’ve been to Lithuania’s highest point and it was a massive disappointment.

      Pretty funny that the highest point in the country is lower than the one in a country literally called “lowlands”

        Lithuania could be divided into lowlands and highlands, or Žemaitija and Aukštaitija. The highest spot in Lithuania is in Aukštaitija, but Žemaitija’s high spots are far more interesting:

    I‘m still amazed, that Spain‘s highest mountain is the volcano island Tenerife (Pico del Teide). Meters above sea level has another impact if the sea level is right next to it.

      Similar for Portugal, the highest mountain is on the Azores (Pico).

    I think the color scaling doesn’t convey the relative scale super well but it’s certainly interesting data

        Oh you’re right; hard to see so I thought it was a part of Flevoland.

      Well they did but it’s barely legible. Also the “Mountain” is on the border with Germany and Belgium with it’s highest point being where the borders meet, so only about one third of it is actually in the Netherlands.

      Doping enables the craziest things…also, they never do the bulk of their training in Denmark.

    Worth noting that the value for Portugal refers to the Pico mountain Azores, not on the Continent.

    It’s pretty interesting to know that France and Italy have the same height of their highest points 🤔
