About Denmark
Denmark, the southernmost of the Nordic countries, spans the Jutland peninsula and an archipelago of hundreds of islands between the North and Baltic seas. Its capital, Copenhagen, spreads across the islands of Zealand and Amager, famed for cycling culture, colorful harborfronts, and design. Heir to the Viking Age and one of Europe's oldest monarchies, Denmark pairs a flat, gentle landscape with an outsized cultural footprint.
- Denmark's flag, the Dannebrog, is often cited as the oldest continuously used national flag, with legend dating it to a battle in 1219.
- Lego bricks were invented in Denmark, and the name comes from the Danish phrase leg godt, meaning play well.
- Denmark is so flat that its highest natural point, Mollehoj, rises only about 171 meters above sea level.
