Scheduling impact for Denmark
Denmark observes 11 public holidays, with a spring cluster similar to other Nordic countries. The Great Prayer Day (Store Bededag) was abolished in 2024, reducing the spring disruption slightly. Easter and Ascension Day still create multiple short weeks in April and May. Danish workers commonly take bridge days around Thursday holidays.
