Dataforsyningen
Klimadatastyrelsen's platform for free Danish geodata, WMS/WFS map services, elevation models, and aerial imagery.
About
Dataforsyningen is the primary geographic data platform operated by Klimadatastyrelsen (Danish Agency for Data Supply and Infrastructure). It provides open web services (WMS, WFS, WMTS) and REST endpoints for topographic maps, the Danish Elevation Model (Danmarks Højdemodel / DHM), cadastral boundaries, and high-resolution aerial photography (ortofoto). Developers can generate free access tokens to query spatial services directly.
Actionable Use Cases
- 01Fetch terrain and surface elevation models (DHM) for coordinate points across Denmark
- 02Integrate WMS and WMTS basemap tile layers into mapping and spatial visualization pipelines
- 03Query cadastral and topographic vector features via WFS endpoints
- 04Download high-resolution aerial ortho-photographs and historical imagery
- 05Enrich property, planning, and environmental analysis workflows with authoritative geodata
