The Netherlands is known for being a flat country, something that shows in its noticeable lack of mountainous terrain. In the so-called 'Low Country,' it doesn't take much to be declared the 'highest' anything in the country, as it the case with the tallest waterfall in the Netherlands which only drops 50 feet.
The Waterfall of Loenen, also known cheekily as the 'Niagara of the Veluwe,' is part of an artificial canal that was dug in 1869 and is almost four miles long. It was created to keep the water level of the Apeldoorns canal equal throughout the year. At some points the height difference was too great, so waterfalls were installed to prevent the stream from going too fast.
