Overview
Jutland is a large peninsula that contains the mainland regions of Denmark. It separates the North and Baltic seas and borders Germany to the south.
Description
Easily the largest and most varied of all Danish regions, central Jutland encompasses dramatically different features, from the calm beaches of the sheltered east coast to the wild west coast, battered by North Sea winds. Lying in between, offering visual stimulation among the flatness, are the rolling hills and forests of the Lake District. Northerly Aalborg, a trade and cultural hub for centuries, has half-timbered merchants’ houses and a redeveloped waterfront. Aarhus, originally a Viking settlement, is a major east-coast port with a living museum of historic buildings – Den Gamle By.
