About Verdenskortet

The World Map at Lake Klejtrup is a miniature international map built of stones and grass in Klejtrup So near the village of Klejtrup, Viborg Municipality, Denmark. In 1943, Soren Poulsen, a nearby farmer, was operating at the drainage of the encompassing meadows when he discovered a stone formed just like the Jutland peninsula. This inspired him to create a small world of his own. During the winter months, with the usage of primitive gear, he positioned massive stones carefully on the ice. When spring arrived, the stones ought to easily be tilted into location, and in this way the World Map took shape.

Some of the stones used weighted more than 2 tonnes. Poulsen created the World Map among 1944 and 1969. It measures forty five by means of 90 metres , protecting an area of over 4000 square meters. One 111-kilometre diploma of range corresponds to 27 centimetres at the map. On Poulsen's map, Antarctica isn't gift and the Northern Hemisphere is marked in locations, making sure a better impact of the perfect distances between the international locations to avoid the problems of spreading out our planet's globular form.
