We visit South Jutland – main image

Denmark is a country on some 500 islands, but it also has a continental part. South Jutland is an integral part of the peninsula, connecting Scandinavia with Central Europe.

The capital of Denmark is Copenhagen, one of the country's oldest cities. Tourists are attracted by beautiful, historic architecture and a romantic atmosphere. However, there are also amazing attractions in Jutland. We can find there magnificent royal palaces and strongholds erected by the Danish nobility. Denmark's big attraction are its beautiful, monumental cathedrals , churches, museums and wonderful, picturesque landscapes.

Amazing attractions of South Jutland

The oldest city in South Jutland is Ribe . The first records of this settlement date back to 860, when Bishop Ansgar, "Apostle of the North", began building a Catholic church there. However, the city was founded much earlier, it was an important trading center, port and the place from which the Vikings set off for their conquests. In the Middle Ages, Ribe was the seat of the kings of Denmark . Many monuments remain after the city's former glory - perfectly preserved houses, charming city streets, the 15th-century abbey , the 12th-century cathedral and the Viking Museum .

Denmark's biggest attraction from the 20th century is Legoland located in Billund . This amusement park was made of several million bricks and is an amazing attraction for the whole family. We will find there a land straight from the Wild West, we will see the Statue of Liberty, and we will also take part in a pirate adventure.

In Billund there is also the largest water park in Denmark - Lalandia . In addition to the swimming pool part, there are additional attractions for children, such as a monkey grove, a giant Lego room , a winter town with an ice rink.

While in South Jutland, it is also worth visiting the Safari Park in Givskud . On an area of over 60 hectares, we have the opportunity to see several thousand different species of animals. You can travel around the park by your own car or by a special bus. This amazing place has been divided into different zones according to continents. Animals move freely throughout the park, so they can sometimes block the way for passing vehicles.

Italy, Croatia, Spain ... are the countries I would like to come back to every summer. I like to discover new places, whether it is a bustling capital city or a quiet town on a mountain slope.

Places to visit
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 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.
