The Netherlands (also known as Holland) is located in Western Europe along the North Sea. It borders just two other European countries. Belgium is situated in the southwest and Germany is in the east. Also, it shares a maritime border with the United Kingdom to the west.

The Netherlands contains several islands like the West Frisian Islands, as well as in IJsselmeer, Markermeer, and in the Caribbean. Amsterdam is the capital and largest city, located in the west. A key characteristic of the country is its windmills which pumped water for drainage and farming.

The Wadden Sea is a UNESCO World Heritage Site because of its unbroken mudflats and intertidal sand. Rivers in the Netherlands include Lek, Waal, Maas, and IJssel.

Netherlands Elevation Map

The Netherlands consists of mostly coastal lowlands and flat, low-lying terrain. But it transitions to hilly terrain in the southeast. Specifically, this includes its highest point in the continental Netherlands, Vaalserberg, at 322 meters in height.

The coastline of the Netherlands is constantly changing due to the dike system used to reclaim the land. Although about one-quarter of the Netherlands is below sea level, coastal regions have become artificial land for agriculture and for people to live.
