There's something utterly awe-inspiring about huge distances, especially if you're simply not used to viewing objects at those scales.

I live in a country where the highest point above sea level is ~171m. Walking in the Scottish highlands was a transcendental experience for me.

You must be Danish, I though us Dutch had it bad (320 max) I guess we do go below sea level more which also makes this calculation more difficult :)

I do agree on the utter amazement of visiting less flat places :)
