Skamlingsbanken, Summit and historic gathering place in Kolding Municipality, Denmark
The hill extends over 2 kilometers with clay formations pushed up from a glacier along the Little Belt Strait during the ice age.
The site hosted major public meetings during territorial disputes between Denmark and the Duchy of Southern Jutland in the 1840s and 1850s.
The first National Language Meeting in 1843 gathered citizens who supported speaking Danish publicly, marking the beginning of language advocacy events.
A visitor center opened in 2021 contains exhibitions about local nature, democracy, and public speaking, with walking paths connecting to outdoor areas.
A memorial column at the summit commemorates 18 Danish advocates, rebuilt after Prussian forces destroyed the original structure in 1864.
