Yding Skovhøj which was once considered the highest point, includes a burial mound from later part of the stone age or early part of the bronze age. As this is manmade, it should not count. Ejer Bavnehøj a few kilometers further east has a tower which can be seen from motorway E45 between Horsens and Skanderborg. The hill itself was also for long time considered the highest natural (not manmade) point, but some years ago it was discovered, that some of the soil on the top is not in its original place, so this is not a natural point either. Since then Møllehøj a few hundred meters from Ejer Bavnehøj is considered the highest point by a few centimeters margin.

You should go to the highest point in Belgium, Signal de Botrange. It is both the actual highest point in the country (unlike The Netherlands) and there's actually something interesting there (unlike Luxembourg). So yes, it's the best highest point in the Benelux. There's also a monument in the centre of Belgium so that might also be an interesting location to Geography-geeks like probably everyone who watches your videos. :)

Tim, I would like to invite you to another challenge. You may have seen the highest mountain in the Netherlands (and now Luxemburg) as well as the cliff of Urk, but you haven't seen the most beautiful mountain. It is situated on the island of Texel (pronounced Tessel), just off the coast of Den Helder. Rather surprisingly it's called 'De Hoge Berg', which means 'The High Mountain'. It's been formed during the last ice age and is one of the main reasons the Dutch dunelike coastline is were it is today. So in other words: it is the anchor on which the western Netherlands has been built. No Hoge Berg, no Amsterdam, nor Rotterdam, nor Scheveningen. Furthermore it's a nature reserve and the views are ABSOLUTELY stunning. And, if you visit in springtime, you can pet the cute lambs that are jumping around in the meadows. And of course it's a great opportunity to visit a real Dutch island instead of URK or Aruba (which is sooooo overrated). Will you think about it?

Luxembourg's highest point might be a bit disappointing indeed, but the country surely does not disappoint. It actually does have hills, some actually quite dramatic (for as far as anything below 500m can be dramatic). But Luxembourg is truly a beautiful country and though being small has almost everything that you'd want to see as a tourist in Europe. I highly recommend going there.

The folks in Ecuador made a similar mistake. For them it must be especially embarrassing since their country is named for being on the equator. Anyway, back some decades ago they built a monument on what was then thought to be the equator a few kilos north of Quito. It is quite an elaborate thing with even a tourist trap showing how water swirls one way in the northern hemisphere and the other way in the southern hemisphere. It cost you a few bucks to witness this "natural phenomenon. However, the advent of GPS shows the actual equator is about 500 meters to the south. Makes one question the veracity of the water swirling exhibit. Could it be a scam?

4:43 The actual highest point is 35 meters ssw of the "monument". It is out in the field. The stone is place where it is convenient, because the closest from the road is also a bit away.

Speaking of the Netherlands' highest mountain, that was directly responsible for Switzerland getting to host the Winter Olympics. When the Winter Olympics first started in Chamonix, France the Summer Games were in Paris. This wasn't a coincidence. The Chamonix and Paris Games were at the time considered part of the same deal and before World War II all countries that hosted the Summer Games also hosted the Winter Games with one exception. That exception was in 1928 when Amsterdam hosted the games. Now you can have some wonderful skating and cross-country skiing events during the Dutch winter, but the one thing you CAN'T do is alpine skiing---not when your "highest peak" is ridiculously low. So the winter games were played instead in St. Moritz, Switzerland. Things stayed that way until World War II and for the 1948 Games, London hosted the Summer Games and St. Moritz hosted the winter. I believe it IS possible to go skiing in Britain, but they were having their hands full just hosting ONE set of Games that soon after the end of WWII so it was easier to do in in St. Moritz whose country had stayed out of the fighting. Ever since then the two set of Games were split up, and then in 1998 they moved the Winter Games to a completely different year.

Hi Tim, nice video. Sometimes a high mountain can be much more interesting than the highest. For example, in Hungary, Kékes is the highest, but you can almost get to the summit by car, while the less high mountain of Köris Hegy (number 8th high) is a very long walk in a beautiful environment.

1:40 If I remember correctly, the tower ruin you see on the side of the road is fake. (At least, I think it is that one, there is assuredly one such). A tower built as a ruin in modern times because it was cool or something like that.

I don't know if you are still in the Benelux, but maybe you could do a video on Belgium's Grands Travaux Inutiles? They are a series of bridges, buildings and roads that were planned and partially built without ever finishing them. The city of Charleroi has an unfinished metroline which has been there for about 35 years, and too expensive to demolish.

Have you concidered travelling by steamtrain with the ZLSM (Zuid-Limburgse Stoomtrein Maatschappij) when you were in the South of Limburg? www.miljoenenlijn.nl/ Another area you might find interesting is the area of Coo in Belgium. You've got a underground powerplant in a mountain which you can visit from a viewing platform inside the mountain, you've got some beautifull waterfalls at the village of Coo and at La Gleize you have one of the few remaining King Tiger tanks in world just sitting in the street. At Remouchamps you have some strange and ancient underground caves , a little up ahead lays Spa which is a beautifull old Monaco like city with it's racing track and just a little further you have Signal de Botrange which is the highest point in Belgium.

And around the corner at Plombières you have a hiking area inside the old Belgian Zinc mine (Bleyberg, which was competing with Moresnet's Zinc mine) with a waterfall that goes inside a mountain (50°44'10.5"N 5°58'00.1"E).
