Printable Blank Map of Denmark
Delineating all 5 administrative regions across 42,933 square kilometers of the Jutland Peninsula and Danish Archipelago, this blank vector map captures the Kingdom of Denmark. Projected in ETRS89 / UTM Zone 32N (EPSG:25832), it provides clean coordinate geometry for Baltic strait analysis, island bridge tracking, and regional labeling.
About this Blank Map of Denmark
This printable blank map represents Denmark on the authentic ETRS89 / WGS84 ellipsoidal datum. All 3 interactive visual variants—including Blank Outline, Capital City Marker (Copenhagen), and High-Contrast Printer B&W—are generated synchronously from identical coordinate geometry.

Denmark at a Glance
- Capital
- Copenhagen
- First-level divisions
- 5 Regions
This printable map shows the national outline of Denmark with the capital, Copenhagen, marked. Internal regions borders are not drawn, which makes it a good base for students to sketch them in from an atlas.
Geography Notes: Denmark
Danish Agency for Data Supply and Infrastructure (SDFI) Geodesy
SDFI standardizes Danish cartography under ETRS89 / UTM Zone 32N.
Centered on 9°00'E, Zone 32N covers the Jutland Peninsula, Zealand, Funen, and surrounding islands with minimal scale distortion.
Conformal parameters preserve true geometry across the strategic Danish Straits (Great Belt, Little Belt, and Øresund) linking the North Sea to the Baltic Sea.
EPSG:25832 maintains sub-meter precision across low-lying coastal sandspits and tidal mudflats.
Jutland vs The Danish Archipelago
Denmark is split between the European mainland peninsula and major insular territories.
The Jutland (Jylland) Peninsula borders Germany to the south, containing Central Denmark Region (Region Midtjylland), the largest region by land area at 13,005 square kilometers.
Zealand (Sjælland) is the largest island, housing the national capital of Copenhagen (København), connected to Funen (Fyn) via the Great Belt Bridge and to Sweden via the Øresund Bridge.
Central Denmark Region covers 30% of Denmark's land area, stretching from the North Sea dunes to the Kattegat coast.
Curated Classroom Activities & Spatial Labs for Denmark
Pedagogical lesson plans and spatial analysis activities designed specifically for printable vector maps of Denmark:
The Danish Straits & Strategic Sound Passages Lab
Objective: Trace the international strait waterways connecting the Baltic Sea to the Atlantic.
Materials: Printed blank map of Denmark, blue highlighter, maritime strait atlas.
- Trace the Great Belt (Storebælt) separating Funen from Zealand.
- Trace the Øresund sound separating Zealand from Sweden.
- Locate Copenhagen on the eastern coast of Zealand as the national capital.
The Five Administrative Regions Lab
Objective: Label the 5 administrative regions created by the 2007 structural reform.
Materials: Printed Denmark regional outline map, colored pencils.
- Label the 5 regions: North Denmark, Central Denmark, Region of Southern Denmark, Capital Region, and Region Zealand.
- Highlight Central Denmark Region (Region Midtjylland) as the largest region by land area.
- Locate the island of Bornholm situated far to the east in the Baltic Sea.
The 3 Synchronized Variants Explained
We generate 3 synchronized variations of Denmark from the same master vector dataset. Each variant is aligned to identical coordinate geometry:
1. Blank Boundary Outline
The foundational boundary outline of Denmark. Rendered with a clean exterior stroke and zero fill—the optimal version for in-class labeling exams, custom cartographic overlays, or clean graphic design.
2. With Capital City (Copenhagen)
Pinpoints the official capital city of Copenhagen using a high-visibility star marker and typographic callout, positioned at precise geodetic coordinates.
3. High-Contrast Printer B&W
Optimized specifically for monochrome desktop laser and inkjet printers. Uses pure black vector paths (#000000) and ultra-clean white fills to prevent ink-bleeding and toner smudging.

Frequently Asked Questions About Denmark Blank Maps
Authoritative answers to common questions regarding printing, licensing, vector customization, and curriculum use:
Are Greenland and the Faroe Islands included on this Denmark map?▼
This map displays metropolitan Denmark. Greenland and the Faroe Islands are autonomous constituent countries of the Danish Realm located in the North Atlantic and are mapped as separate jurisdictions.
What is the largest region by land area in Denmark?▼
Central Denmark Region (Region Midtjylland, regional seat: Viborg) is the largest region at 13,005 square kilometers.
Is the island of Bornholm included on this Denmark map?▼
Yes. The Baltic island of Bornholm, located south of Sweden, is included in standard cartographic layout as part of the Capital Region (Region Hovedstaden).
