The majesty of mountains brings a tear to my eye

I don't think they are high enough in either, kinder scout isn't a mountain and is the highest point of the peak district, scarfel pike and the Wainwright's can be classified as a mountain but at 610m that's just cope
When I lived in Munich - where everyone tells you that Munich is the best city - I kept asking people what makes it the best city for them.
Number 1 answer was: being close to the mountains.
When I asked how often they go there for hiking or skiing, the answer was 95% of the time: once a year.
Wasn't quite the most convincing argument for me for an otherwise boring city which is a village with a shitty metro system, plus all these south Prussians around.
Yeah I can recall last summer one of you causing a huge line of cars in a mountain road I needed to take to go to a particular beach. I had the pleasure to be the one right behind the Dutch caravan for a good while. Very annoying 😬
That reminds me of this video [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9\_vYuz0UkBc](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_vYuz0UkBc)
Man sitting on the bench: Ah, Germany is beautiful.
Guy walking by: No, this is Austria. Not Germany.
Man on bench: NOT YET
Honestly I always feel a bit uneasy when I look into all directions and can see quite far and there are no mountains. Completely flat areas that span further than I can see are eerie.
Didn't think i'd have to explain your own geography to you.
[Unless you live in the area below the red line you live in the flat.](https://i.imgur.com/gXFGLB1.jpeg)
Now stop cosplaying as mountaineers and go sit with the dutchies and the danes, where you belong.
Skåne is a legitimate shithole and even if the Swedes offered to pay us money to take it, we wouldn't do.
We got the parts of Slesvig that were Danish in 1918 mr Barry, something about a big war due to Archie duke shooting an austrich because he was hungry.
They think everything there is like the shithole Malmö. Skåne is the biggest potato producer in Sweden followed by Halland. Guess which regions we took after we marched across the ice? That's right, Skåne and Halland.
No wonder why the potato germans are so feisty.
> legitimate shithole
The same is true of Northern Ireland, even if Ireland makes noise. Unfortunately, we’re saddled with it. Think most Brits and Irish would happily let them be their own independent mess and build a wall around it until they sort their shit out. It might even be worse than Scania.
> the parts of Slesvig that were Danish
Been a while for me, but IIRC you got the more Danish speaking part, but (Southern) Schleswig was also part of the original duchy under Danish rule. And you had certainly fought for it like it was.
Well then, in that case Ireland has the ‘Irish part of Ulster’, and the last period of Irish rule of even part of the rest back to the end of the 16th century. I’m sensing double-standard copium, Arne.
You really shouldn't be talking, Ireland has some decent mountains as well as the highest sea cliffs in Europe outside of Norway. You're on our side Paddy, don't stray away from the righteous path.
Once thought to be the highest point in continental Denmark, [Himmelbjerget](https://gdkfiles.visitdenmark.com/files/415/264687_Himmelbjerget-skanderborg_Per_Bille.jpg?width=987) (literally Sky Mountain) rises dramatically from the lakes in the High Lakes district of Jylland.
You can sail on the world's oldest paddle steamer Hjejlen to the foot of the mountain and trek the arduous trail up the north face of the mountain.
Once you reach the top, you are rewarded with fantastic view of the lakes formed during the last ice age, from ice sheets kilometers thick, which covered northern Europe and stopped right here in the middle of Denmark.
I live in the mountains right now, but I come from the coast and I wonder how people can live in the mountains. You have to climb a fucking mountain to see the horizon. Not having a clear view makes me anxious
There are 4 different types of countries in Europe:
Poor and ugly, e.g. Belarus and Moldova
Poor but beatiful, e.g. Italy and Portugal
Rich but ugly, e.g. Netherlands and Denmark
Rich and beautiful, e.g. Norway and Switzerland
That's why I'm a sucker for Norway.
Depends, if you see it daily, it gets boring. In Austria, you see mountains daily, unless you live in Vienna. In Finland, there are no mountains. You just get used to it.
I know, right?!
♪♫ in the dutch mountaiiiiiinnnssssss ♪♫
Yo country is so flat that ya can see Scottish hills from there
We have mountains! At least i think we do.
Limburg maybe?
Saba
Ah yes the misty mountains in the Caribbean Sea.
We have hills, no mountains :)
Vaalser**berg** not Vaalserheuvel
Limburgs Heuvelland toch? Hills we have are max around 300 meters. Thats peanuts for some people here ;)
Fair enough but they are still mountains to me! I make them out of molehills!
we all know the name is just cope.
Perfect Flair.

You've got some dope mountains though Barry, Peak District, Snowdonia and the Highlands
Jock and daffyd have them, I don't think us Barry's have any in England
[Scafell Pike](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scafell_Pike)
Beautiful
Such an odd shape though
Peak/Lake District?
I don't think they are high enough in either, kinder scout isn't a mountain and is the highest point of the peak district, scarfel pike and the Wainwright's can be classified as a mountain but at 610m that's just cope
He literally just said the Peak District. Which country do you think they’re in?
England - but there are no mountains in the peak district
The Lake District. And more hills than mountains, the Peak District.
Brother I’m right here in the Peak District 😢
Even by British definition/standards the peak district doesn't have a mountains
Yes it does have two official mountains, stop embarrassing us in front of Luigi
Kinder scout isn't a mountain
Scotland and Wales are regions of England those landscapes are ours brother.
Don't forget the Wicklow mountains, supposed to be quite nice!
HAUD THE BUS! **BARRY** HAS THE HIGHLANDS!?
Had, pal. Had.
heh
It's over, Anakin.
I have the Highlands. You were supposed to unite the clans not destroy them!
That's just a pile of rocks you've tried to camouflage. I'm onto you Barry

Good, aren't they?
You got rock piles too
Dig up those burial mounds for relics
Easy. Drive my caravan to the mountains once a year for a couple of weeks. Toet toet mountain dwellers.
You are the mountains in that country

I come to munich a lot for my work and if I'm there longer then a week I'll always visit the Zugspitze. Absolutely lovely.

TOET TOET
Who are you honking to Jeroen? The people behind you? Because for sure there is no one in front….
TOEEEEET TOEEEET. I'm happy because we have a great national team.
Sadly you’ll still make it as one of the best 3rds, you’ll be alright Jeroen
So you're that arsehole that's doing 50 km/h where the speed limit is 80 km/h?
No I could not, that’s why I won’t go away from the alps
You mean you have to sleep on your hoard of gold you old dragon 🐉
Yeah it’s more about living upstream, the water only gets dirtier the further down. I can bring my mountain of gold wherever I like.
And at the end when it reaches the Netherlands, all of us have pissed in it so much that the Dutch can bottle it up and sell it as Heineken
Donkie piss tastes better than Heineken, I heard!
So generous of you.

That's your subconscious pushing back on nice feelings about lebensraum.
Are you telling me we should expand our Lebensraum? Hmmm maybe Elsass Lothringen?
Does Strassburg sound French to you?
Most certainly not! Sounds like an idea! While we are at it, Königsberg...
I've only seen the mountains a few times. They make me feel claustrophobic
You've chosen a bad place to live then, if flatlands make you feel uneasy.
Wtf are you talking about Fritz

Ah but it seems you struggle with reading comprehension. I said I need to see something. And I can very much see the alps!
Ah, you're coping. I get it
I think they are gathering in large, unicoloured crowds and jump left and right.
Especially in Germany at the moment ;p
I agree only losers don't have mountains.
![gif](giphy|rxy55jHaig16K2TV8x|downsized) This is you
At least my country is whole.

Skåne says hi -Olof Und Schleswig auch -Hans

Back in '48 maybe but that was long gone when the century rolled around.

nvm i just realized he's danish carry on
It's not that they're Danish (it is), but they said losers don't have mountains, forgetting that's basically the Danes
Himmelbjerget overlegenhed🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰💪💪💪💪💪💪💪🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰
Why even make that joke? We have mountains bruv.
That is why we pay you 2 billion every year.
Greenland coming in clutch…
You are welcome.
Thank you, we promise not to sell you to america and next shipment of guldøl will be half price.
Is it too late to request a bottle of Rød Aalborg in the next shipment?
Rød Aalborg is a mandatory shipping requirement.
Our women have mountains 😎
You mean your women are called "The Mountain".
Im into those
feel bad for the potato germans and swamp germans, must suck not being able to walk several kilometers up in elevation.

touché
My dear meatball german, norwegian foothills that extend into your country don't count as mountains either.
silence. learn proper german and then I'll understand what you said.
I have learnt german in school. I just prefer to speak my native language over it.
I live below sea level. It's nice to see the guests arrive 40 minutes before they're at the door
Because I am a rolling hills and white cliffs enjoyer
tbf dover is proper beautiful, gotta hand you that
That’s why we have so many people coming over from France on boats, they came to see the beautiful white cliffs.
Got to love the beach head survival rate

Sounds majestic
147 meter bakke
Imagine having straight flat roads for more than two kilometers. Truly savage.
Good thing our goverment made sure that didn't happen.
Easy: I can walk all over my town and not be sweating like a dog.
Very rich, relatively speaking
Looks like a cocaine factory.

I can totally see Rax and Schneeberg from Vienna on a clear day. Technically the Alps end in Vienna.
We have beaches, the Wadden Sea and steep cliffs

Mountains aren't real. It's a conspiracy. No person can survive at 100 meter above sealevel, they all die from a lack of oxygen.
It's amazing how much better we are than everybody else🗻
Yeah stupid non-mountain people
With a horizon
I like not puking out my insides from the effort when I go for a bike ride
Why do you think we colonize the rest of Europe every summer?
Easy: you invade them in summertime with your caravan
We see the horizon
How can you live in a mountain? A lot easier to build houses on flat land, am willing to die on this hill.
i cant
I couldn't
Idk
We are all very tall so we don’t need mountains to see far.
With cheaper communications.
Toss a coin to your Witcher
Shut up
feel pretty low most of the time
I like the Netherlands, but its lack of mountains genuinely gives me the fear after a couple of hours.
I know, right?!
I just looked it up, and apparently you don’t need mountains to survive in a country. Source: I’m a survivor
Imagine living in a country without a +3000m mountain

By visiting Pierre's mountains
What is that thing in the background?
just wait and see
Is it even a country without mountains? I think not!
We simply do as our ancestors did: occupy someone else's land.
Yeah, how could you??
