Danish term or phrase: Djursland
Hello,

This is the name of a place situated in the center of Denmark, but could anyone propose a spelling of this name in English? Originally I need this name to be written in Japanese katakana, however as it is apparent that there may not be prominent answers, I'm posing the same question here in a hope to be advised on the 'phonetic' spelling of this name.

TIA
