Where can you find fjords?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If you are looking for fjords (a long narrow inlet) then, most fjords are found along the Norwegian coastline in Scandinavia. The word "fjord" is an import from the Norwegian language.

If however you are looking for the Fjord horse breed, then you can find them just about anywhere. The best way to locate a Fjord horse near you would be to contact your national or state breed association for Fjords and ask them for a local breeder.

Christmas FoodsFish is the feature of Christmas Eve dinner in a number of countries. For example, Austrians eat baked carp and Norwegians dine on lutefisk (dried cod). Vegetables, relishes, hot breads, and a variety of other dishes accompany the main course of the Christmas feast everywhere.

Popular beverages served especially at Christmastime include eggnog in the United States and hot, spicy wassail in England. Many people in Sweden drink glogg, a hot punch made with spices, liquors, raisins, and nuts.

Favorite Christmas desserts in the United States include fruitcake, mince pie, and pumpkin pie. Plum pudding is traditional in Canada, the United Kingdom, and Ireland. The French serve a Christmas cake called buche de Noel, which looks like a miniature log. Italians finish their meal with torrone, a candy made of egg whites, honey, and nuts. Fruit-filled breads called stollen are favorites in Germany. In Mexico and other Latin-American countries, thin, round pastries called bunuelos are usually eaten with cinnamon and sugar.

When is best time to travel to Copenhagen?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

As it seldom gets really hot in Copenhagen, you can go any month outside the winter season.

Two of the popular attractions - the amusement park Tivoli and the so-called Freetown of Christiania - are seasonal: Tivoli is only open during summer (with two small exceptions around Halloween and X-mas), and Christiania has many time more inhabitants in the summer compared to winter.

What countries make up the group called Scandinavia?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The countries which make up the region of Scandinavia include Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, and Iceland.

However, the definition of Scandinavia varies a lot. Some would not include Iceland because it is nowhere near the Scandinavian peninsula and/or Finland because they don't speak a Scandinavian language.
