Abstract
The peninsula of Djursland on the east coast of Jutland in the centre of Denmark proper has been analysed in relation to shoreline development. All stages of simplification are represented, ranging from initial moraine coasts to totally simplified equilibrium forms.
The geomorphological analysis should be compared with the results of investigations concerning wave force. (See Sofus Christiansen, ‘Wave power and the Djursland coast’, Geografisk Tidsskrift, lix (1960) and the following paper.)
