Today I learned Denmark has less elevation than the Netherlands

Denmark is super flat. I believe the highest point is the pylons of the bridge between the two Major islands, Funen and Zealand.

If we count all man made structures, I believe there are 18 radio transmitter towers that are taller than the bridge pylons.

The only reason the Netherlands has that high a number, is because of the hill on which the Dutch, German, and Belgian borders meet. If you take Limburg out of the equation, the next highest point is 110 meters.

In two of the Dutch provinces, the highest point is a garbage dump hill.

Which two provinces?

According to wikipedia, Noord Brabant and Drenthe. My "research" hasn't gone any deeper than that.
