Minimum altitudes in the Netherlands

Planning a trip to the Netherlands. What would be the minimum altitudes for a VFR-flight (over land, water, cities)? Exemptions?

I guess 500 ft AMSL should give you at least 1000 ft clearance from most things!

212man,

Isn't it a pity when clever irony goes unnoticed?

What do you expect mate? In the end it's your duty and no one elses to update yourself with flight rules.

It really didn't matter that much. The weather was ****y on the way out and on the way back. I had a hard time to maintain 500 ft AGL. (now that would be what... 300' MSL???). Actually, upon landing the altimeter indeed was reading below 0
