Denmark
 Denmark is a country composed of a peninsula and more than 400 islands that stretch into the
North Sea
between the landmass of Europe and the
Scandinavian countries
of
Norway and
Sweden. The
peninsula, which is the main landmass of Denmark, is called the
Jutland Peninsula. In addition to its incredible coasts, Denmark has interesting inland lakes,
rivers, and streams. While history buffs enjoy Denmark because it has a
Viking tradition, eco-tourists enjoy bicycling through Denmark with its low elevations and kayaking in the North Sea. Arts and crafts lovers enjoy touring the
Danish museums and studying modern Danish designs in furniture and accessories.
Denmark has quaint cities and towns that are picturesque with their mix of the old and the new.
Ronne on the island of
Borhnolm has half-timbered houses in its historic section.
Copenhagen, which is considered one of the most beautiful cities in the north, is on the island of
Zealand where there are
chalk cliffs and many historic castles to visit.In Denmark, the Danes like to go to
Northern Jutland to relax and enjoy the northern lights. Jutland has flat landscapes, long/narrow beaches, and lots of places to sail. The quaint fishing villages, which dot the dunes, are postcard-picture perfect. Impressionist artists were drawn to the region in the Nineteenth Century. Surprisingly, there are great hotels and
gourmet restaurants that serve fresh seafood and jumbo shrimp. Visitors can include Jutland in a road trip or a bicycle touring vacation through Scandinavia and Europe. Some visitors to the region prefer camping while
outdoor adventurers like to try sand skiing on the dunes. Jutland also has
medieval churches,
towers, and
museums.? After relaxing and enjoying the
beaches
during the day, visitors can find a trendy
nightlife in Jutland.

Hans Christian Anderson
and to visit the inspiration for
