THE HIGHEST PEAKS OF DENMARK

Even in countries without big mountains, there are summits to climb. The list below ranks the 20 highest points in Denmark.

And further down there is a map showing all the locations. Using the drop down menu, you can find a number of other lists, defined according to geography and category (in Danish).

Summits can be sorted in different ways. Danskebjerge.dk uses a method which ensures a certain spread of points across Denmark. This primarily means excluding points located less than 2 kilometers away from a higher point already placed on the list.
