Jutland is mostly flat, with some gently hills and low-lying areas. The highest point in Denmark, Møllehøj, stands at only 170 meters, making it a relatively flat country. Despite the lack of mountains, the countryside has a charm of its own. Fertile farmlands cover much of the peninsula, supported by a temperate climate and plenty of rainfall. Denmark’s coastline is what truly defines the country. With over 7,300 kilometers of shoreline, Denmark is shaped by the sea in every direction. The North Sea coast is rugged and windswept, with sandy beaches and dunes stretching along Jutland’s west coast. . The country has many lakes, rivers, and fjords, which shape its terrain and provide natural boundaries. The Lim fjord, for example, cuts across northern Jutland, separating it from the rest of the peninsula. Fjords and inlets are common along the coasts, providing sheltered harbors and creating natural havens for wildlife.
