Denmark has at least two places which have historically been considered to be country's highpoints. Ejer Bavnehøj is slightly higher (173m) but its height is largely due to ancient burial mounds, so it is not considered to be a natural highpoint. The current "official" highpoint is Yding Skovhøj, which is 171 meters high. To be sure, we visited both :-)


Ejer Bavnehøj pictures:

There are quite a few burial mounds in the woods

And someone has forgotten a perfectly good tractor there as well.

One can see from far away that this is the "official" highpoint.

What is the point of measuring a hill's height to the nearest centimeter?

Virtually all of Denmark is developed, fields and villages in every direction.

It's mighty windy up here :-)
