Is it true that Holland is located under sea level?
24% of Holland’s surface area is situated under the average sea level, mainly in the western and northern part of the country. The lowest point, 6,7 metres below NAP (Normal Amsterdam Level), is in the west. The highest point, 321 metres above NAP, is in the south, at the point where the borders of Holland, Belgium and Germany meet. You can learn more about the struggle against the water at the Neeltje Jans Waterland. This former artificial island is the country’s best information center for discovering the wonders of the world of water.
