Grenen is a long sandbar at Skagen Odde (the headland of Jutland), north of the town of Skagen what makes it  the northmost point of Denmark (excluding the Faroe Islands and Greenland). Here are the bays of Skagerrak and Kattegat and this is the place where the North Sea and the Baltic Sea meet.

Stevns Klint is a 15 km long white coastal cliff with in the middle of the white limestone traces of the best known global mass extinction in Earth's history. Between the white layers of chalk and limestone is a thin layer of black clay, which holds evidence that 65 million years ago Earth was hit by mass death that extinguished more than half of all species of plants and animals, including the dinosaurs.

Zealand is the largest and most populous island of Denmark, between the Kattegat and the Baltic Sea, separated from Sweden by The Sound (Øresund) and from Funen (Fyn) island by the Great Belt.

On 23 June 2014, it was announced that Stevns Klint and the Wadden Sea had been added to the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites in Denmark

Sooo cute stamp...Its my second one from this serie!

Latin Quarter is a neighborhood that is more than 500 years old. Built around the University of Copenhagen, which has since moved to the outskirts of the city, the Latin Quarter is named for the Latin language that was used by scholars in the Middle Ages. Its tiny streets are filled with second-hand bookstores, trendy boutiques, eclectic music stores, jazz clubs, and a candy factory that offers tours of its facility.
