According to wholevehicles, Belgium is a relatively small country located in Western Europe. It is bordered by the Netherlands to the north, Germany to the east, Luxembourg to the southeast, and France to the southwest. The Belgian coastline along the North Sea is approximately 66 km long and consists of sandy beaches, dunes, and low cliffs. The country is divided into three distinct geographic regions: Flanders in the north; Wallonia in the south; and Brussels, which has a unique status as both a region and a bilingual city. Flanders is mainly flat with an elevation of up to 40 meters above sea level. It’s home to some of Belgium’s most densely populated cities such as Antwerp and Ghent. Wallonia lies in a more mountainous region with elevations of up to 500 meters above sea level at its highest point, the Signal de Botrange near Eupen in eastern Belgium. Its capital city is Namur and it’s also home to many nature reserves including forests and lakes such as Les Lacs de l’Eau d’Heure which are popular for recreational activities like fishing and canoeing. Brussels lies at an elevation of around 50 meters above sea level with its central location making it ideal for transportation links between Flanders and Wallonia. The area features some charming parks including Parc du Cinquantenaire which houses several museums including Autoworld Museum showcasing vintage cars from all around Europe. Additionally, there are several rivers flowing through Belgium such as Meuse River that forms part of its border with France before flowing into Netherlands; Scheldt River that flows through Flanders before entering into Netherlands; Ourthe River that flows through Ardennes mountains before entering France; Sambre River flowing through Wallonia before joining Meuse near Namur; Senne River that flows through Brussels before entering into Willebroek Canal; Dender River that forms part of Belgium’s border with France before entering into Scheldt near Aalst; Yser/IJzer River flowing from west to east along Belgian-French border before draining into North Sea near Nieuwpoort; Lys/Leie river originating from French region Picardy passing through western Flanders on its way towards Dutch province Zeeland where it enters North Sea at Breskens port town.
