National park

A larger landscape area bringing nature, cultural heritage and outdoor recreation into a shared development framework.

Definition

Danish national parks can contain different habitats and land uses. National park status does not itself add nature protection beyond existing legislation.

Why it matters

The park boundary therefore does not mean the entire area is protected nature. National parks and nature national parks are different schemes; this layer shows national parks.
