Abstract

Like many other countries, Denmark experienced a pro found transformation of its landscape due to the advent of the railway.However, in Denmark the impact was particularly wide spread due to its relatively high railway density, which peaked in the late 1920s.At that time, most people in Denmark had access to a train station within a 10 km radius. 1)In the 1920s, Denmark enjoyed one of the highest railway densities globally, with 128 me ters of railway per square kilometre.Despite a reduction since those times, the railway density nonetheless remains significant at 80.9 m/km -nearly four times that of neighbouring Sweden. 2) From the 1840s onwards, the new railway infrastructure altered Den mark's agricultural landscape, as well as its old trading towns and villages; the rail network spurred the development of smaller Danish tangible railway heritage in literature and practice
