      Visiting Denmark, Hamburg, and more recently Lübeck sparked a new geographical obsession: the fascinating peninsula of Jutland.

      This is where Scandinavia begins, and where the immense Northern European ice sheet came to an end around 20,000 years ago. Today, the landscape tells a different story. Shared between Germany and Denmark, Jutland is densely inhabited and stitched together by an intricate network of ports, bridges, and ferry routes. Yet it remains a remarkably peaceful place, dotted with quiet villages whose warm brick churches and verdigris copper roofs inspired the colour palette of this map.

      Jutland is also one of Europe’s great havens for birdlife. The tidal flats of the Wadden Sea and the nearby Frisian Islands support millions of migratory birds each year while preserving a unique coastal culture. To reflect this natural heritage, I’ve incorporated birds into the design as a traditional Danish embroidery motif.

      I hope you enjoy this little cartographic experiment. As always, more maps are available on my [website](https://www.perrinremonte.com/fraccueil-1).

      Edit: I will fix the spelling mistakes thanks everyone for pointing them out. Sorry about this, I’m not familiar with the language or names of this part of the world and proof reading your own work is hard!

      This is gorgeous. Only addition is you should make a stylized compass mark using a trailer hitch.

      Very cool!! Im not a cartographer, just a casual map-enjoyer. You should check out the book Kortlægningen af Danmark by Peder Dam. It is in Danish, but it has so many old maps showing the history of how Denmark was mapped out. The book is giant and has gorgeous double-page historical maps. A number of them are made by french cartographers.

      It also has a lot of text explaining how old school map making works, and has examples of paper towns and stuff.

      It came out this year, so no English translation yet, but Peder Dam is a scholar, who some times publishes articles and books. Perhaps some of his work is available in English (or French?).

      Really cool, and I love the incorporation of ornithology and the colors of copper.

      Though since the towns are written in Danish, I feel weird when I see „Lim Fjord“ rather than „Limfjorden“. (Which BTW is a really funny name ‚cause ‚lim‘ originally meant limestone, but in modern Danish it just means glue).

      Any reason you chose to write Helsingør by its French name? I know only a few Danish cities are translated that way, but you wrote København, and an English translation, but none in French.

    14. KlogKoder on

      There are a few misspellings here and there (Støving, Helsinborg, Æro), and the choice of language is a bit funny (Jammerbugten vs Tannis bay, Store Strait, Elseneur), but those should be easy to patch up.

      Oh this is lovely! A lot of people skip Jylland when they come here. Did you visit Aarhus? If you need some help with correction of names, let me know and I’ll lend you a hand 🙂

      Great work. If you want some inspiration for other types of maps, geus.dk has a bunch of topographical maps with sediment types, drinking water quality, etc. They are available for free download, but the site is only in Danish, so use the Google page translate.

    28. Fremtidsgorilla on

      Awesome work! I absolutely love it, when people start geeking out. So wonderful. I couldnt help seeing you spilled „Støving“ wrong in Northern Jutland. Its called „Støvring“. Which litterally means „dust ring“. No idea why though.

      This is amazing!! How did you make this? QGIS? Or something else? The legend title design is very fancy!!

    33. hhyuk on

      This is absolutely amazing! The embroidery addition is just lovely, and I am honored to see it!

      Yding Skovhøj (nicely direct translated to Forrest Hill) is in fact only 170 meters’ish.
      There is a long standing dispute between it and the neighboring hill Ejer Bavnehøj, but in fact it was Møllehøjen who won with about 7 cm. LOL!
      Seems pretty ridiculous when you think of how small these hills in fact are… But, it’s the tallest natural objects in DK!

    35. ZilderZandalari on

      It’s fun to see which choices an outsider makes about what to label:
      The situation around Denmarks highest point is a mess, and should be Møllehøj this season I think https://youtu.be/EM8yUKwPjwA?is=pC7IaEhENojtNwjI
      Showing Middelfart over the railway hub Fredericia next door is funny.
      Leaving out that Fyn and Sjælland are connected is unusual, as that bridge is a huge deal around here.
      Danish islands generally use their shapes as their identity, even Fanø, Mandø and Rømø, despite their shapes changing greatly with the tides. I’m sure your shapes are based on data, but they look wrong and might give the locals an identity crisis.

      Hi mate, nice work. You might need to have another look at the placement of the towns and cities of Vendsyssel (North Jutland). Brønderslev and Hjørring are located a further into the center of Vendsyssel. Back in the day, they both had very important train stations, so their central locations were key to a strong fish trade.

      Visually it looks really pretty, but there’s some spelling errors like lim fjord  should be Limfjorden.

    38. qchisq on

      Okay, I know it’s Jutland you are obsessed with, but you did make a map of all of Denmark, so I’ve got to say this: Zealand looks weird to me. Like, there’s cities in the places I would expect but the size is all wrong. Like, Sorø is basically gone, while Frederiksberg on the opposite side of Sorø Lake, is huge. Ringsted is barely there. Haslev is basically the size of Vordingborg.

      It just feels off to me

      As someone from Aalborg, I’d appreciate if Aalborg Bay was spelled correctly as well 😄

      Translate it and try to market it to coop/ Salling group.

      It’s very popular to have detailed maps as decoration in Denmark
