At an elevation of 887 m (2,910 ft),[1] it is the highest point in both the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and, since the dissolution of the Netherlands Antilles on 10 October 2010, the highest point in the Netherlands proper. wikipedia

Kristy, I don’t think it’s fair to call the metric system “redneck hillbilly fantasy stuff” - that can be offensive to a lot of people - especially to the countries that have never put a man on the moon.
