To complete our strive to climb the highest peaks in the Nordics countries, we only had Denmark left. There is a controversy whether Möllehöj or Yding Skovhöj is highest, so we decided to go for both.

Yding Skovhöj (172.54 m above sea) is actually three bronze age graves well hidden into the Danish woods. We had to use GPS to find the middle grave and to take the selfie was a challenge with dense bush woods all over the place.

Since the graves are more than 2 m high and considered man-made, Möllehöj 170,86 m is the highest natural point in Denmark. We prepared for the worst, in climbing harness, only to find that Möllehöj is an idyllic barn area. Celebrations after climbing the last of the Nordic summits after Keb and Akka in Sweden, Galdhöpiggen and Glittertind in Norway, Halti in Finland and Hvannadalshnjúkur in Iceland included Champagne and Danish strawberry cake.

On the descent we already prepared our next project - "Project S". Stay tuned
