The geographical meaning of the Low Countries includes Belgium and The Netherlands. The concept is based upon a partially common history and natural similarities. Rare are the regions that show such a diversity in landscapes, both natural and cultural, and in mentality on a rather small area. This lecture presents some geological and historical background that will allow a better understanding of the landscapes and their people when travelling around.
