The North European Plain ( German : Norddeutsches Tiefland or German : Norddeutsche Tiefebene ), or Middle European Plain ( Polish : Nizina Środkowoeuropejska ) is a geomorphological region in Europe, mostly in Poland, Denmark, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands ( Low Countries ), and a small part of northern France and Czech republic. It consists of the low plains between the Hercynian Europe ( Central European Highlands ) to the south and coastlines of the North Sea and the Baltic Sea to the north. These two seas are separated by the Jutland Peninsula ( Denmark ). The North European Plain is connected to East European Plain, together forming the European Plain.

Geography Elevations vary between 0 and 200 m ( about 0 to 650 ft ). While mostly used as farmland, the region also contains bogs, heath and lakes. On the North Sea coast one finds the Wadden Sea, a large tidal area. On the Baltic Sea coast one finds the Szczecin Lagoon, the Vistula Lagoon and the Curonian Lagoon, a number of large freshwater lagoons. Location The North European Plain covers Flanders ( northern Belgium ), the Netherlands, Northern Germany, Denmark, and most of Poland ; it touches the Czech Republic and southwestern part of Sweden as well. Parts of eastern England can also be considered part of the same plain ; as they share its low - lying character and were connected by land to the continent during the last ice age. The Northern European Plains are located also under the Baltic Sea. Rivers Major river - drainage basins include, from west to east : the Rhine, Ems, Weser, Elbe, Oder and Vistula. The bases of these rivers are heavy with thin soil, making it hard for the farming industry to thrive in the located rivers.
