BEFORE YOU COMMENT ABOUT SPAIN OR SOMETHING, READ THIS Hey everyone. I want to address the many, many comments I've gotten about the countries I chose to include on this list. As I stated at the start of the video, I only included countries that geographically are in Europe or have a portion of their territory in Europe. Since Europe's borders are imaginary, I used a common definition, which (among other things) uses the Eurasian Plate and the Caucasus watershed as borders. So, this excludes Armenia, Cyprus, and the Canaries. On the other hand, Georgia, Azerbaijan, and Kazakhstan all have small portions of land in Europe, therefore they were included. Despite some of these countries being more European than Asian sociopolitically, or vice versa, geography was the only consideration for this video. Hope this helps to clear up any confusion.

While Møllehøj is the highest peak in the Denmark proper, it's not the highest European peak of the Danish Kingdom, that honour belongs to the Faroese mountain of Slættaratindur, which has a height of 880 m. Interesting, that people always remember Greenland, but forget us the Faroese. Sucks to be small, I guess.

Fun fact: Elbrus, for those who don’t know is a dormant volcano. Thought that people who like to know the origin of certain mountains would want to know that. It has two summits, one at 5,621m (18,442 ft) and the other at 5,642m (18,510 ft). It’s last eruption was around 50AD, give or take 50 years. Technically speaking in geological terms that’s pretty recent making it technically an active volcano as it meets the criteria given by most volcanologists: 1) having erupted in the past 10,000 years(“historical times” they say). 2) Showing signs of activity or unrest. Which Elbrus has several hot springs and active fumaroles. Hopefully we all get to see this volcano erupt in our lifetime. However it may be dangerous to anyone near because of its heavily ice and snow capped summit, which an eruption would cause massive lahars and pyroclastic flows. Hope you enjoyed the quick geek out.

@naiman4535 2 года назад

WOW! This video definitely had its share of surprises! I was expecting the Netherlands to come first on the list, since it is otherwise so low in elevation, but many other European countries, it turns out, have lower high points. I was also quite surprised that Khazakhstan made it onto this list, since I thought that it was in Asia, not Europe. Of the various European high points you covered in this video, I have hiked to the top of two of them: Ben Nevis in the UK and Moldoveanu in Romania's Fagaras mountains (part of the southern Carpathian chain).

It depends on where you want to draw the line between Europe and Asia. According to some of these boundary definitions the Mont Blanc is the tallest mountain in Europe

Excuse sir, but in Spain we have some little islands called Canary Islands or Islas Canarias in Spanish. They are located near Africa and they belong to Spain, there’s one in particular called Tenerife, where there’s a Volcano called El Teide which is the tallest peak in Spain, with and astonishing 3718m and snow almost every year, which is pretty cool in my opinion considering the Canaries are a Hawaiian-ish islands. Just wanted to take that off my chest. Have a nice day y’all!

@spongebubatz 2 года назад

That’s true and all, but the Canaries aren’t a part of the Europe as they already belong to Africa (they are west of Morocco after all). For Turkey he also only counted the highest mountain on the European side so it only seem fair to exclude the Teide

Imagine having cycled as high as the 3rd highest mountain on this list (Mont Blanc), although not in Europe. In fact, I would have traversed Mont Blanc on skis with a climbing friend, if it wouldn’t have been for our boss (we worked in an outdoor/mountaineering shop). He wouldn’t allow us to leave simultaneously. Either one or the other was allowed to leave. :(

Vaalserberg is land surface with the highest elevation in the Netherlands, but not actually the highest point in the Netherlands as suggested by the title. That would be the top of the Gerbrandytower, a TV tower in IJsselstijn. It is 50 meters higher at 372 meters.

An eternal controversy is the question if the Caucasus belongs to Europe or not. North of it the Manytch plain in Russia is seen mostly as the transition area to Asia without a definable border. More or less officially the Ural mountains and the Ural River are considered as border. In this case the Russian city of Magnitogorsk is also lying on two continents, like its counterpart metropolis Istanbul.

Glad to see you pointed out the monte bianco peak as the shared border between Italy and France. Some French say it's theirs. And it is not

@ptrinch 2 года назад

Having grown up In Torino and vacationing in Courmayeur before moving to the states, I was quiet upset when taught that Monte Bianco was in France and tried in vain to correct my teacher. I suspect the reason had something to do with the fact that when crossing the mountains via cable car, pre European Union, the passport control office was at Punta Helbronner (in Italy) rather than at Aiguille du Midi. And since you pass by Monte Bianco in that portion of the crossing, it was assumed to be in France.

@@remymerieux9562 Kind of. France and Italy both claimed it was shared when the border was established in 1860. Years later, France unilaterally moved the border to give themselves the peak, despite no basis for it. That being said... given my background and (assuming by your name) your background. I suspect we won't come to any agreements here. 🤣
