Response to Highest point in Denmark

 
I've probably spent more time on this than I should.

Anyway in trying to track down the original article I see the original name is Mollehoj (which has several Google entries) which somehow got corrupted in the various translations.

This not listed in Microsoft Expedia but it is listed in the downloadable data from the geonames project.
http://gnswww.nima.mil/geonames/GNS/index.jsp
ftp://ftp.nga.mil/pub/gns_data/

There are two "hill entries"
55.8666667N 9.1666667E
55.3166667N 12.4333333E

Ejer Bavnehoj (the previous accepted highpoint) is
55.9833333N 9.8333333E

So since the article mentions they are close I suspect of the two entries above it is the first one (the geonames files almost never contain elevations)


Here's the original article in German (which includes a photo):

Here's the article with a google translation:
http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=de&u=http://www.netzeitung.de/ausland/327985.html&prev=/search%3Fq%3DMollehoj%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26sa%3DG

The European Union offers a website for online info on its countries.

The Denmark map site mentioned did not list this but it says it only recognizes Danish names and not international names (e.g., Copenhagen is also not listed).

This site has a photo of the same name but I'm not sure if it's the hill in question.
