The MiljøGIS layer diverse:npydreafgr contains five named parks with adopted status: Thy, Mols Bjerge, Vadehavet, Skjoldungernes Land and Kongernes Nordsjælland. Captured on 11 September 2026 via WFS in EPSG:25832 and pinned after two matching captures. Refreshes are validated and packaged as PMTiles before a new dated edition is published. The source supplies no overall update date.

Limitations and responsibility
A national park is a landscape containing nature, farmland, forest, settlements and sometimes sea. Its boundary does not mean every property has an individual conservation or §3 designation. National parks and naturnationalparker are different designations; this layer shows the five adopted national parks. The source supplies name and status, but no separate park ID or establishment date. The official name is the natural identity key for this snapshot; renaming can change identity in later editions. Area is calculated for each whole source polygon in EPSG:25832 before tiling. Proposals for new parks are excluded.
