Denmark is a country in Scandinavia. The main part of it is Jutland, a peninsula north of Germany while a number of islands including two major ones Zealand and Funen are the two main islands in Østersen Sea between Jutland and Sweden. Once the seat of Viking raiders and later a major north European power, Denmark has evolved into a modern, prosperous nation that is participating in the general political and economic integration of Europe. However, the country has opted out of European Union's Maastricht Treaty, the European monetary system (EMU), and issues concerning certain internal affairs. Denmark is also the birthplace of one of the world's most popular toys Lego. There is no other better place in the world where one can buy Lego bricks than at the Lego land theme park in Billund. These days the Danish Vikings have parked their ships in the garage and put the horned helmets on the shelves. And along with the other Scandinavian nations forged a society that is seen as a benchmark of civilization, with progressive social policies, a commitment to free speech so entrenched in Danish society, that it put the nation at odds with most of the world during the Mohamed cartoon controversy and a liberal social-welfare system that's not only the most equal in the world, according to the Economist, it is also the most competitive. Top it off with rich well preserved cultural heritage and the Danes legendary sense of design and architecture and you have one intriguing holiday destination.
Denmark is home to the lowest-highest point in Europe but what that exactly entails is somewhat uncertain. In the Lake District region south west of Aarhus seems to be the highest natural point (171m with a large tower built on top to commemorate the fact), although Yding Skovh & Oslashj, some 3km away stands 2m higher owing to an ancient burial mound.
