- Denmark carries out random checks at the German border, which can cause waiting times. Keep your ID at hand.
- Greenland and the Faroe Islands belong to the Kingdom of Denmark but are not in the EU or the Schengen area. For Greenland you need a passport, as the identity card is not accepted; for the Faroe Islands the identity card is enough.
