What are the most spectacular roads in Denmark?

Part of Scandinavia, and located in the northern part of Europe, Denmark covers an area of 42,943 square kilometers. It comprises the Jutland Peninsula and numerous islands. With no big mountains, the highest road of the country leads to Ejer Bavnehoj. Located in the eastern part of Jutland, this hill rises to 170.86 meters (560.56 feet) above sea level. While the height is not impressive by international standards, it’s the country's highest point.

With a coastline with numerous fjords and bays, one of the most spectacular roads in the country is the Oresund bridge, a new link between the country and Sweden. This spectacular bridge connects the towns of Amager and Oresund in Denmark (on the island Zealand) with Skane, in Sweden. It has a length of 10 miles (16,4 km). It's one of the most spectacular bridges in the world.

And if you like challenging experiences, don’t skip to drive through the Tidal Causeway to Mandø Island. Due its difficult access, Mandø has remained relatively untouched by mainstream tourism. It’s one of the periodically flooded roads around the world.

Øresundsbroen is a new link between Denmark and Sweden. This spectacular bridge connects the towns of Amager and Oresund in Denmark (on the island Zealand) with Skane, in Sweden. It has a length of 10 miles (16,4 km). It's one of the most spectacular bridges in the world.

Møns Klint is a very famous spot located on the eastern coast of the Danish island of Møn, in the Baltic Sea. It’s one of Denmark’s most popular and breathtaking landscapes.

Ejer Bavnehøj, also known as Yding Skovhøj, is the highest natural point in Denmark. Located in the eastern part of Jutland, this prominent hill rises to an elevation of 170.86 meters (560.56 feet) above sea level. While the height might not seem impressive by international standards, it holds great significance for the Danish people as it represents their country's highest point.

Off the southwest coast of Jutland, in the Danish Wadden Sea, part of the North Sea, lies Mandø. This unique island, located in the middle of the Wadden Sea National Park of Denmark, remains one of the country's most peaceful retreats. Surrounded by tidal wetlands, Mandø has remained relatively untouched by mainstream tourism, thanks to its distinctive access road, which gives it the title of being Denmark's best-kept secret. It’s one of the periodically flooded roads around the world.

A road between Ivittuut and Kangilinnguit is the only paved road in Greenland. It’s 4.5 km (2.8 mi) long. Due the extreme weather there are no roads between settlements in the whole island, only within them and around them.

Placed in the middle of the Limfjord between Aalborg and Nørresundby, a short unpaved road is the only road in the Danish island of Egholm.

Located in western Greenland, the Greenland ice sheet is a vast body of ice. This world-class attraction is one of the most important landscape feature in the island. The Greenland ice sheet begins to the east of Kangerlussuaq and is a spectacular sight to behold.
