\"Himmelbjerget<\/a>

On top of Himmelbjerget<\/p><\/div>One of the first things you\u2019ll notice when going by train or bus in Denmark, is how extremely\u00a0flat<\/em>\u00a0the country is. There are no mountains, only a few hills. The only\u00a0klipper<\/strong>\u00a0(rocks) are located on the island of Bornholm, between Sweden and Poland. The rest of Denmark is\u00a0fladt som en pandekage<\/strong>\u00a0(flat as a pancake). (Admitted, the Netherlands are even flatter \u2013 and even more liberal when it comes to the pleasures of life!)<\/p>\n

Wait \u2013\u00a0no<\/em>\u00a0mountains? In 2005, the Norwegian Roger Pihl proved us all wrong. With a dash of irony and a lot of love for Denmark, he published a book which in Danish got the name\u00a0Guide til Danmarks bjerge<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Guide to the Mountains of Denmark.<\/p>\n

\u201dDenmark\u00a0is<\/em>\u00a0a\u00a0fjeld-land<\/strong>\u00a0(mountain-country)\u201d, Pihl writes. \u201dEven if the peaks protrude no more than 100 meters, the view can be just as impressive as from the Norwegian mountains, where you can add a zero to the height.\u201d<\/p>\n

Denmark has an average height of\u00a031 meters<\/em>, and Pihl argues that in that perspective, every hill with a height above 100 meters should be considered a Danish\u00a0bjerg<\/strong>\u00a0[b-ya\u1d52\u1d52] (mountain)! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Here, then, are the<\/p>\n

10 highest peaks in Denmark\"\"<\/a><\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Ejer Bavneh\u00f8j\/M\u00f8lleh\u00f8j in Ejer, Jylland.\u00a0170.86<\/strong>\u00a0meters (above sea level).<\/li>\n
  2. Yding Skovh\u00f8j in Yding, Jylland.\u00a0170.77<\/strong>\u00a0m.<\/li>\n
  3. Rytterkn\u00e6gten in Almindingen, Bornholm.\u00a0162<\/strong>\u00a0m.<\/li>\n
  4. Rye S\u00f8nderskov in Gammel Rye, Jylland.\u00a0157<\/strong>\u00a0m.<\/li>\n
  5. Them Bavneh\u00f8j in Them, Jylland.\u00a0153<\/strong>\u00a0m.<\/li>\n
  6. Sorring Loddenh\u00f8j in Sorring, Jyland.\u00a0148<\/strong>\u00a0m.<\/li>\n
  7. Himmelbjerget in Gammel Rye, Jylland.\u00a0147<\/strong>\u00a0m.<\/li>\n
  8. Otteh\u00f8je in Bryrup, Jylland.\u00a0145<\/strong>\u00a0m.<\/li>\n
  9. Aborrebjerg on M\u00f8n.\u00a0143<\/strong>\u00a0m.<\/li>\n
  10. Alvildas H\u00f8j in Gammel Rye, Jylland.\u00a0142<\/strong>\u00a0m.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Notice how mountains in Gammel Rye dominate the chart! Of these, the most famous is Himmelbjerget. It has a tower, a souvenir shop and a restaurant on its top! The view is as breathtaking as it gets in Denmark, so there\u2019s no reason to laugh about the name, which means \u2026 Sky Mountain!<\/p>\n
