There are a few things the Netherlands will never have: decent curtains, dinner after 6 PM, and mountains. But one can dream, right?
Imagine skiing next to the canals of Amsterdam, lush Alp-like mountains five minutes away from Vondelpark, or snow-covered hills giving a scenic backdrop to Rotterdam’s famous butt plug gnome. No, we’re not joking.
These artists have created some pretty cool graphics of what the flattest country in Europe would look like if she had a mountain range.

Doesn’t this picture make the Netherlands magically turn into the perfect winter destination?
How cool would the contrast between the majestic mountains and Rotterdam’s modern architecture be?
