Jutland ( /ˈdʒʌtlənd/ ; Danish : Jylland [ ˈjyˌlænˀ ] ; German : Jütland [ ˈjyːtlant ] ) , anciently known as the Cimbric or Cimbrian Peninsula ( Latin : Cimbricus Chersonesus ; Danish : Den Kimbriske Halvø , Den Jyske Halvø ; German : Kimbrische Halbinsel ) , is a peninsula of Northern Europe that forms the continental portion of Denmark and part of northern Germany . The names are derived from the Jutes and the Cimbri , respectively . As with the rest of Denmark , Jutland 's terrain is flat , with a slightly elevated ridge down the central parts and relatively hilly terrains in the east . West Jutland is characterised by open lands , heaths , plains and peat bogs , while East Jutland is more fertile with lakes and lush forests . Southwest Jutland is characterised by the Wadden Sea , a large unique international coastal region stretching through Denmark , Germany and the Netherlands .
Rold Skov ( Rold Forest ) is a forest in Himmerland , Denmark . At 8,000 ha , it is the second largest forest in the country , after the Silkeborg Forests . The forest is named after the village of Rold which lies in the southern outskirt of the forest . Other towns in Rold Skov include Arden , Rebild and Skørping .
Himmerland is a peninsula in northeastern Jutland , Denmark . It is delimited to the north and the west by the Limfjord , to the east by the Kattegat , and to the south by the Mariager Fjord . The largest city is Aalborg ; smaller towns include Hobro , Aars , Løgstør , Støvring and Nibe . In northeastern Himmerland is the Lille Vildmose , Denmark 's largest raised bog , which sustains a rich bird life of international importance .
Gribskov ( Grib Forest ) is Denmark 's fourth largest forest , comprising c. 5,600 ha of woodland situated in northern Zealand , west and south of Lake Esrum . The forest is owned and administered by the State of Denmark , and a part of the Kongernes Nordsjælland National Park .

Gribskov is usually divided into four sections : The northwest surrounding the small village of Maarum , the northeast on the banks of Lake Esrum , the southwest around the small lake of Gribsø and finally the southeast , enclosing the village of Nødebo on the southern banks of Lake Esrum . Only a thin strip of Hillerød town in the south separates Gribskov from many larger woodlands such as Store Dyrehave at 1,100 ha , Tokkekøb Hegn at 631 ha and several smaller woods .
Zealand ( Danish : Sjælland , pronounced [ ˈɕɛˌlænˀ ] ) , at 7,031 km2 , is the largest and most populous island in Denmark proper ( thus excluding Greenland and Disko Island , which are larger ) . Zealand has a population of 2,302,074 ( as of 1 January 2018 ) . It is the 13th-largest island in Europe by area and the 4th most populous . It is connected to Funen by the Great Belt Fixed Link , to Lolland , Falster ( and Germany from 2028 ) by the Storstrøm Bridge and the Farø Bridges . Zealand is also linked to Amager by several bridges . Zealand is linked indirectly , through intervening islands by a series of bridges and tunnels , to southern Sweden . Copenhagen , the capital of Denmark , is located partly on the eastern shore of Zealand and partly on the island of Amager . Other cities on Zealand include Roskilde , Hillerød , Næstved and Helsingør . Despite their identical names in English , the island is not connected historically to the Pacific nation of New Zealand , which is named after the Dutch province of Zeeland .
Almindingen ( the common ) is one of the largest forests in Denmark . It is located in the centre of the island of Bornholm . The forest covers 3,800 hectares ( 9,400 acres ) , making it Denmark 's third largest . Though it was at one time common grazing land for cattle , it was fenced in for forestry in 1809 by Hans Rømer , the forest supervisor . As a result , by the beginning of the 20th century , Bornholm had become Denmark 's most forested region . Bornholm 's highest point is Rytterknægten at 162 metres ( 531 ft ) , where there is a memorial to Frederick VII of Denmark and Countess Danner 's visit to the island in 1851 . In 2012 , the Nature Agency brought seven European bison from a Polish primeval forest to a 200 acres ( 81 ha ) paddock in Almindingen , marking the first time in 2,500 years that Europe 's heaviest land-living mammals were in Denmark . There are a number of walking paths through Almindingen such as the ones leading to Ekkodal and Gamleborg .
Bornholm ( Danish : [ pɒːnˈhɒlˀm ] ; Old Norse : Burgundaholmr ) is a Danish island in the Baltic Sea , to the east of the rest of Denmark , south of Sweden , northeast of Germany and north of the westernmost part of Poland . Occupying an area of 588.36 square kilometres ( 227.17 sq mi ) , the island had a total population on 1 January 2019 of 39,572 . Among Bornholm 's chief industrial activities are dairy farming and arts and crafts industries such as glass production and pottery using locally worked clay . Tourism is also important during the summer months . The island is home to an especially large number of Denmark 's round churches . The island is known as solskinsøen ( Sunshine Island ) because of its weather and klippeøen ( Rock Island ) because of its geology , which consists of granite , except along the southern coast . The heat from the summer is stored in the rock formations and the weather is quite warm until October . As a result of the climate , a local variety of the common fig , known as Bornholm 's Diamond , can grow locally on the island . The island 's topography consists of dramatic rock formations in the north ( unlike the rest of Denmark , which is mostly gentle rolling hills ) sloping down towards pine and deciduous forests ( greatly affected by storms in the 1950s ) , farmland in the middle and sandy beaches in the south . Strategically located in the Baltic Sea , Bornholm has been fought over for centuries . Usually it had been ruled by Denmark , but also by Sweden and Lübeck , Germany . The ruin of Hammershus , at the northwestern tip of the island , is the largest medieval fortress in northern Europe , testament to the importance of its location .
Djursland is a 44 km × 33 km hilly lowland peninsula in Denmark at the entrance to the Baltic Sea , between Denmark and Sweden in Northern Europe . Djursland protrudes into the Kattegat sea , as part of the larger peninsula of Jutland , which itself extends from the Central European continent . Djursland comprises the two municipalities of Norddjurs and Syddjurs . The only larger city on Djursland is Grenå , but both Randers and Aarhus are close-by . Agriculture and fishing has been the mainstay of the rural culture here for millennia . There are many prehistoric relics of the past on Djursland , reaching back to the earliest cultures of the Nordic Stone Age . Djursland is a popular place for recreation in the summer and has several activities for tourists to offer . It attracts both Danes and foreigners alike and tourism is a major job and economic contributor on Djursland nowadays . Since 2009 , a larger area of Djursland has been part of the Mols Bjerge National Park , connecting several previously disconnected protections .
