Aalborg day and night

You can love Denmark, but you must have a lot of longing in your heart for the elusive and inscrutable. Then the landscapes of windswept areas, escarpments sliding into the sea and sand slowly taking over human settlements will delight and soothe you. Someone who loves intensely colored flora and the joyful blue sky and sea may only see sadness in Danish landscapes. But if he gives them a chance, he will see that they are beautiful - only in a different way, with a hint of nostalgia.

The sad charm of North Jutland

The landscapes of northern Denmark consist of areas stolen from the sea. The land formed itself by raising the seabed and then depositing volatile sands and creating dunes. To prevent sand from returning to the sea, the coast is planted with trees. The gusts of wind can be so strong that over time all the trees lean towards the land, as if trying to hug it. While relaxing in North Jutland, you will see such views, for example, in the Thy area, located west of the town of Thisted. It is filled with hills covered with grass and trees - formerly sand dunes. The west coast has the widest sandy beaches in Denmark, dunes and steep cliff edges, eloquent evidence of the losing battle between land and sea. In the east, the landscapes are gentler and there are also beautiful beaches. North Jutland is sometimes called the North Jutland Island because it is separated from the mainland by the waters of the Limfjord. At the narrowest point of the fjord lies the second largest city on the Jutland Peninsula - Aalborg , a surprising point on the map of this part of the country.

Sightseeing in Aalborg

Among the city's contemporary attractions, Jomfru Ane Gade (ul. Dziewicy Anny), a street of restaurants, pizzerias, discos and clubs, definitely stands out. This is Aalborg's entertainment aorta - you can flow along it like a river from bar to bar, traversing musical eras. Each club attracts a different clientele, from hip-hop fans (FLOW Aalborg - Hip Hop & RnB Nightclub) or rock and pop from the 80s and 90s (Fabrikken) to fans of 70s music (Kvisten). You can have fun in both modern (Monkey Club) and elegant (Benediktes - Late Night Club) interiors. This is the largest concentration of clubs in the country. Someone who came on holiday to Denmark to visit it for partying will be delighted with the Virgin Anne Street. The city has many faces at night and everyone will find one that will meet all their expectations.

Aalborg illuminated by the sun's rays is calmer, but that doesn't mean it's boring. There are several museums there, including the Maritime Museum, the Garrison Museum and the Historical Museum, and the Lutheran Cathedral of St. is also worth seeing. Budolfi, surprising with its rich interior hidden in a stark white building. It is worth seeing the 16th-century castle, taking a look at the Renaissance bourgeois tenement houses and taking a look at the monuments in the city center. It is also worth climbing to the viewing platform of the Aalbork Tower to see the entire city.

The surroundings of the city are also interesting. There is a place in Nørresundby that will interest not only archeology enthusiasts. We are talking about Lindholm Høje , the famous Viking burial ground. This is not the only attraction for fans of sea pirates - about 50 km west of Aalborg lies Aggersborg , the largest Viking fort in Scandinavia. To this day, only the embankment surrounded by a ditch with an internal diameter of 240 m remains.

Camping in Egense

What should tourists looking for a campsite in North Jutland pay attention to? Especially those who would like to see as much as possible? Approximately 31 km from the center of Aalborg, there is an ideal base for sightseeing trips - Egense Strand Camping . It is located on road number 541, a stone's throw from the Hals - Egense ferry port. It is a quiet campsite that offers a wonderful opportunity to relax in the bosom of nature. Vacationers can enjoy the sandy beach, swim, fly kites, relax, fish or relax on a sailboat. The area encourages walks, e.g. along the fjord, where you can observe birds and ships regularly sailing to and from the marina.
