The top end of Jutland (the bit of Denmark that points northwards from the main mass of the Continent) is very flat and rather sparsely populated. The peninsula is cut across by the sinuous path of the Limfjord, a long sea-water thoroughfare that links the North Sea and the Kattegat with a twisting silver ribbon under vast skies like those seen in Dutch landscape paintings and ones of the East Anglian school. Limfjord widens at its west end into a wide salt water lake or lagoon, Nissum Bredning, before connecting to the North Sea past a sand bar.
