Mount Elbrus which is believed to be the highest mountain in all Europe (18,510 feet).
I "discovered" Elbrus in flightgear. I was on a longer trip from the Pacific to Europe overland, and the Caucasus is indeed a very spectacular range of mountains. Over on the west side of the range, there was one biiiiig mountain sticking out, so I looked it up, and that's when I learned about it.
I think I probably learn more about geography than aviation in flightgear. I'm quite happy with that result.
