Denmark is the only Scandinavian country attached to the mainland of Central Europe, located above Germany's northern border.  With an interesting mix of lively cities and pastoral farmland, it is a country of manicured fields, medieval timbered houses, thatched-roof cottages, historic castles, manor homes, fishing villages, white sand beaches, and scores of unspoiled islands to explore.
