Demographics of Denmark - statistics & facts
Denmark is a relatively small country to the north of Europe, both in terms of area and population. It only borders Germany, but is connected to Sweden via bridge across the Öresund strait, which opened in 2000. It is also a flat country, its highest point rising only 170 meters above sea level. Moreover, the islands of Greenland and the Faroe Islands both belong under the Danish crown, but enjoy a high degree of autonomy.
