Nature and parks of Netherlands
The Netherlands is a country of lowlands. The majority of its territories are below the sea level, and therefore the local inhabitants had to take back their own lands from the seas for centuries. Today, many dams, castles and fortifications remind about protecting the coastline from flooding. Only 2 percent of the Netherlands’ lands are above 50 km above sea level. If there were no fortifications, the half of the country would be under water. However, it was a war with the sea that gave the state such a large number of recovered fertile lands, where today legendary tulips and other flowers grow. In the Netherlands, there are lots of reservoirs and river arteries. The largest rivers are the Rhine, the Meuse, and the Scheldt.
