Author's Note:

This is a content essay the five themes of geography on Denmark.  I am focusing on location, movement, and region. Also I am using a report voice.

Seeing the sites, walking down paths, taking pictures of everything around you, you see castles, you see  bikes, and most importantly you see culture.  There are rivers and lakes everywhere you turn.  As you walk around, you can't understand much because everyone's speaking a language you have yet to learn.   At the end of the of the day, you go back to your hotel.  Only, it's not a hotel, it's a castle.  Everyone unpacks and decides to go out to eat.  Burger King and Wendy's aren't on the menu. Foods such as fish and vegetables are traditional options.  Your trip to Denmark has already been life changing.  Denmark is one of the most remarkable countries in the world.

Denmark is a small, compact country located in central Europe.  It's exact location is latitude line 54.9 and longitude line 10.2.  So it isn't quite in the western hemisphere.  Countries than surround Denmark include Sweden, the Netherlands, Norway and Germany.  It's average altitude is only 31 meters above sea level and it's highest point is 171 meters above sea level.  Overall Denmark is a small flat country, right in the middle of Europe.

Since Denmark is flat, a lot of people get around by riding bikes or driving small cars.  Another reason is because since the country is so small, there aren't many places to go and you wouldn't need a big car.  Denmark's official religion is Lutheran, which is also popular in America.  Lutheranism is the religion that is practiced by their state church.  To summarize, small cars and bikes are a popular way to get around and Lutheranism is the official religion. 

Denmark is made up entirely of islands and peninsulas.  The biggest part of Denmark is the Jutland Peninsula.  Most of the country is pretty smooth and flat, but there are some  places on the Jutland Peninsula that have large hills.  Though there aren't any mountains anywhere in Denmark.  Surrounding Denmark is the Atlantic Ocean and the Baltic Sea.  Most of the people in Denmark speak Danish or English. Lastly, Danish is the official language of the country.

Languages, religions, and cultures.  Denmark is a country of islands and flat lands.  Lutheranism is the official religion and Danish is the official language.  Surrounding countries include Sweden and the Netherlands.  The entire country isn't any bigger than half the size of Missouri and is about the same size as New Hampshire.  Finally, riding bikes and driving small cars are popular ways to get around.
