Central Jutland, or Midtjylland, is located in the heart of Denmark. Aarhus is the second-largest city in Denmark, and Herning, is known for its textile industry. Aarhus is a cultural hub, with numerous museums, galleries, and festivals. Central Jutland is home to Legoland.
Southern Denmark, or Syddanmark, is located in the southern part of the Jutland peninsula and on the island of Funen. It is the second-largest agricultural area in Denmark, with vast fields of wheat, barley, and rapeseed. Known for the iconic Egeskov Castle, and the historic towns of Kolding and Ribe.
Zealand, or Sjælland, is Denmark’s largest island and is home to the capital city, Copenhagen. It has the most diverse landscape of the localities with beaches, farmland, forest, and cityscape. The island is connected to mainland Denmark by several bridges and tunnels. Copenhagen is one of Europe‘s most vibrant and cultural cities, with world-class museums, galleries, and architecture.
The Capital Region, or Hovedstaden, is the smallest of Denmark’s regions, but it is the most densely populated. This region encompasses the Greater Copenhagen area and is famous for it’s edgy architecture, restaurants, museums, castles, and the royal palace of Amalienborg.
Even though each territory has its special distinctions, Denmark’s five regions also have common ground in terms of geography and characteristics. One of the most impressive being, that most of the country is lying only 34 meters above sea level, making it one of the lowest lying countries in the world!
Denmark does not have mountains, the highest geographic elevation reaching no more than 170 meters. The country’s landscape is primarily flat, with rolling hills and sandy beaches are found from end to end. This geography lends itself to agricultural production, which thrives throughout the country. In addition to agriculture, manufacturing, fishing, and shipping are the major contributors to the country’s economy.

Denmark shares one land border with another country, Germany. Historically, the southern part of Denmark and the northern part of Germany have blended, as border lines were drawn and redrawn throughout the ages. Today there is a large Danish minority in the German state of Schleswig-Holstein and a German minority in the South Jutland.
A part from the border with Germany, Denmark is connected to Sweden by a bridge-tunnel across the Øresund Strait in the east. The major boundaries of Denmark are defined by water, as it is surrounded by seas on three sides. To the west, Denmark is bordered by the North Sea, while the Baltic Sea lies to the east.
