Territorial Highest points

Connected Sites: 30

Inscribed sites which contain the highest point within the jurisdiction of the "State Party" (and thus within its ability to nominate). This includes therefore such points in territories or autonomous zones where these are higher than the highest point in the "main unit" of the country. In some cases exact heights vary in different sources. For more info see: Peakbagger and Wikipedia list of countries by highest point
