According to the dictionary, I am looking for a hakke. When I go to shops such as jem og fix, I get stuff like this: https://cdn.bauhaus.dk/media/catalog/product/cache/06447b731d1cbff22138e7150384a1c9/8/3/832b76e0-c836-45e8-a36c-169afef28f24.jpg
The ones I have always used where I come from have a deeper, heavier iron, like this: https://media.adeo.com/marketplace/LMES/82420774/2022303.jpeg?width=650&height=650&format=jpg&quality=80&fit=bounds
I had never seen the Danish type before I moved here. I’m surprised because it’s not like soil is very different. The small type maybe is good for small gardening tasks, but it lacks the mass I am used to, which allows me to sink it deeper into the ground, and move more soil.
Does the larger type have a different name in Denmark, and is there a place where I can find it?

there are different types
the one you linked from spain is called something like ‘en hakke med rundet skær’

This was all I could find that looks like what you are used to. But I have no idea which physical store, if any, would carry this.
I’d imagine the type you are used to would be considered more of a “specialty” tool in Denmark.

You can buy one in the store dansk skovkontor near Sorø.
My wife has one and uses it frequently 😉
Gardening tool?
Nævermind.
