This is a list of extreme points of Denmark: the points that are farther north, south, east or west than any other location.
Latitude and longitude
[edit | edit source]Jutland Peninsula
[edit | edit source]This includes only land on the Jutland peninsula – land that is part of mainland Europe:
- North : Skagen, North Jutland County (Lua error: callParserFunction: function "#coordinates" was not found.)[1]
- South : Padborg, South Jutland County (Lua error: callParserFunction: function "#coordinates" was not found.)[1]
