The Danish kingdom has seen a significant increase in the number of Russian tourists in recent years. They are attracted not only by architectural sights, but also by the unique Scandinavian landscapes created with the help of nature and the sea in Denmark. On the mainland and on the islands, you can find great options for a vacation or vacation, especially since the mild Danish climate allows you to travel at virtually any time of the year.
What are the seas in Denmark?
Located on the Jutland Peninsula, Denmark is washed by the North in the west, and the Baltic Seas in the east. Both reservoirs are poorly adapted for bathing, and their banks in the region of Denmark can hardly serve as resort towns. Even at the height of summer, the air temperature here does not rise above +18 degrees, and the water does not warm up by more than +16 degrees. And yet, the beauty of the local weather is the absence of sudden cold snaps and, in general, changes in temperature values. The reason for this is the proximity of the Danish sea and the climate that has developed thanks to it.
Northern or German
Both of these names of the sea washing Denmark in the west are used by the locals. The reservoir is considered shallow by sea standards, since its depth on the vast majority of the surface does not exceed 100 meters. The famous Dogger Bank in the North Sea, located between Denmark and the UK, is a source of fish for the seiners and seiners. It is here that the lion's share of the total catch of fishermen of the Scandinavian countries is caught.
Amber Baltic
When asked which sea washes Denmark from the east, geographical maps answer - the Baltic. Unfortunately, the Danes did not get the Baltic amber deposits, but other delights of this beautiful sea are familiar to the inhabitants of the kingdom. The Baltic is connected to the North Sea by the Skagerrak and Kattegat straits, and Cape Grenen is located at the confluence of the two seas. The Danes call this place the end of the world, and the clear and distinct border of the confluence of the two waters is not only clearly visible, but also serves as a reason to come here for a photo shoot and video shooting.
Interesting Facts

- The largest rivers in Europe - the Elbe, Thames, Rhine and Scheldt - flow into the North Sea.
- The characteristic relief of the Danish coast in the west is endless dunes interrupted by narrow bays.
- The depth of the Baltic Sea off the coast of Denmark does not exceed 25 meters.
