This monument was put on top of the hill, because it is the highest point in the country, but really its not, cause it really the hill you can see from this point called yding skovhøj. HA
The highest point in Denmark is worth visiting if you happen to drive in the area. There is nothing special to see. As the highest point is not very high you see the same beautiful scenery while driving around the area. You can however donate a few crowns and visit the tower that is on the top of the hill.
This is the highest point in Denmark, something like 183meters.
Its a few km from the highway and there is a tower and an ice-cream kiosk.
Not much to see or do other than to say that you have been there...
Its not the highest natural point, that would be Møllehøj 170,86meters.
Not many countries can offer you the highest point which is so accessible... Denmark is really flat - unless you are on a bike - and this point is, by 6 cm (!) the highest in Denmark. The nearby info board cheerfully explains to you that this is a really important hill, a nearby one is called "Himmelbjerg" (the Sky Mountain) and I cannot decide if this is self-deprecatory Danish humour or some smug Viking stubbornnes (This is what we have, and who will prevent us from calling it sky-high? Any volunteers?). You can have a good laugh at the story of the rival hill which is actually higher but only because a burial mound was raised there - which was later disqualified as a non-natural object. Still, it rather educational to visit the place, there is a fine view, and you can contemplate the Danish psyche a little (if there is such a thing - probably not). It faces south, and was erected when northern Jutland was returned to Denmark in 1921. This reminds you that nationalism is not dead in Denmark, either.
