Jutland: Difference between revisions

Jutland's geography is flat, with comparatively steep hills in the east and a barely noticeable ridge running through the center. West Jutland is characterised by open lands, [[heath]]s, plains, and [[peat]] [[bog]]s, while East Jutland is more fertile with lakes and lush forests. The southwestern coast is characterised by the [[Wadden Sea]], a large unique international coastal region stretching through Denmark, Germany, and the Netherlands. The peninsula's longest river is the [[Eider (river)|Eider]], that rises close to the Baltic but flows in the direction of the North Sea due to a moraine, while the [[Gudenå]] is the longest river of Denmark. In order for ships not having to go around the whole peninsula to reach the Baltic, the [[Kiel Canal]], the world's busiest artificial waterway, that crosses the peninsula in the south, has been constructed. Jutland is connected to [[Funen]] by the [[Old Little Belt Bridge|Old]] and [[New Little Belt Bridge]], and Funen in turn is connected to [[Zealand]] and [[Copenhagen]] by the [[Great Belt Bridge]].
