Jutland peninsula a relaxing holiday on Denmark's best beaches.

Jutland peninsula

The peninsula is divided into five parts, to the South we have “Sønderjylland”,“Sønderjylland" borders up to Germany to the south and some of the biggest border towns are Padborg and Krusaa. Some of the other towns you will find in Southern-jutland are Haderslev, Aabenraa and Sonderborg.

There are also a few islands along the southern east coast, like Als and Aaro

Years back most of the Southern part belonged to Germany.

South of Kolding you will find "Skamlingsbanken".

Skamlingsbanken is a beautiful area and the highest point, 113 meter over sea level, in the Southern Jutland, here you got a magnificent 360 degree view over the area and in clear weather you can see the island of Funen from here as well.

The place is a popular place for picnics and sightseeing and there is a track, about 5 km. long, if you feel like a walk in the nature.

There is a 16 meter tall memorial, made from 25 granite blocks, and a little exhibition about the history of Skamlingsbanken here as well.

Skamlingsbanken also offers you one of the most beautiful placed restaurants in Denmark.

The West “Vest Jylland”,is where you will find Ribe, Denmarks oldest town, Esbjerg Denmark's 5th biggest town and beaches like Romo "Rømø", Blaavand and Fano, and further north Blockhus.

Lokken, Skagen and Frederikshavn with the lovely Palm Beach, you will find to the North “Nord Jylland”.

To the East “Øst Jylland” we have some of the larger towns along the east coast like Aalborg, Aarhus Denmark’s second largest city, and Randers, in Randers you can find Graceland-Randers, the only permanently placed Elvis Presley museum outside USA, and they also have a man made rainforest in Randers created inside 3 large domes, for more information see here.

The central part of the Jutland peninsula “Midt Jylland” is home to Viborg, Holstebro, Silkeborg and Herning.

On the West coast you will find some of Denmark’s best beaches, Romø is a big tourist attraction on the West coast as well.

In Ribe, on our way to the west coast we had a look at the Viking museum and a Viking township and the old township with some of the oldest houses in Denmark.

Driving around the countryside in the evening in August, the farmers are busy getting their fields harvested and are working until midnight in a lot of places.
