Jutland Peninsula

Jutland Peninsula (Jyske halvø) or Cimbrian Peninsula (Kimbriske halvø) is a peninsula in Europe. The names are derived from the Jutes and the Cimbri.

It is not the same as the historic region of Jutland, the area that was covered by Codex Holmiensis (Jyske Lov). This included Funen, the North Jutlandic Island and other smaller islands, but excluded area south of the Eider River.

Its terrain is relatively flat, with heaths, plains and peat bogs in the west and a more elevated and slightly hilly terrain in the east.

Northern Schleswig and Southern Schleswig form the historic region South Jutland (Sønderjylland). The Duchy of Schleswig covered almost the same area.

Northern Schleswig until 2006 was South Jutland County.
