Denmark does have elevations!

This proves that Danish cyclists can train in Denmark for climbing!

Your map doesn't even show Denmark's highest point- the top of the Storebelt
bridge linking two of Denmark's islands.

I thought Greenland was still part of Denmark. Surely there's a point in
Greenland that's higher than your bridge? And there probably won't be
anybody to prevent from biking through Greenland either.

The highest point is at Yding Skovhoej 173 m.

Pylon is not same as roadspan height. The site is lacking in that
actual data.

The CIA is only wrong when it's politically convenient. Whoops, did I
say that in an election year?

I din't say that the highest road in Denmark is the bridge, I said the
highest point in Denmark. For that matter, the CIA figure as well as the
topographical map linked to don't indicated what the highest road in Denmark
is either.

And in fact the cia is wrong even if we don't take the bridge into account.
The highest point of land in denmark is actually Ejer Bavnehøj which is 0.06
meters higher than Yding Skovhøj.

Not to mention there's probably a few television or radio towers even
taller than the bridge pilons. What's the point of elevation if you
can't get to it on a bike?

No, I've been told that it's the bridge. Danes seem to be are quite proud of
this fact in a perverse sort of way.

Sorta like the highest point in (snerk snerk) Florida, eh?
