Lindholm Høje is an old Viking burial site with ~700 graves and stone ships that is located close to Aalborg. The burial site is open 24/7, however in the evening there are goats running around so try not to provoke them;p
I think Grenen is the most well know place in Denmark. You might know of it from its other name: the top of Denmark. It is also a place where you can stand in the two seas at the same time!
Den Tilsandede Kirke also known as The Buried Church is a church from 14th century. During 18th century it slowly became devoured by sand. The villagers tried to fight with nature for many years but it was a futile fight and they had to give up.
Råbjerg Mile is the largest moving dune in Northern Europe! The movment of the dune has not been stopped to allow people to expirience the amazing and scary power of the nature.
Rubjerg Knude Fyr is a lighthouse that is standing on the edge of the cliff! Due to the moving sands the landmark will fall into the sea in 15-20 year, so visit while you can!
Bulbjerg also called “The Shoulder of Jutland” is an amazing looking 47 m high limestone cliff that is the only rock formation and bird cliff on Danish mainland. And that means there are a lot of cute birds hidden in the rocks:)
Hirtshals is a harbour town. Actually there are two harbours – fishing harbour and ferry one. I have only driven through, so can’t say much about the city itself as my goal was The Bunker Museum Hirtshals 10th Battery.
Fur is a small island in the Limfjord.It is easy to get to, as there is 24/7 ferry service and the whole trip take whole 4 minutes!! You won’t be able to notice the ferry started and you are already there!
Højriis Slot is a manor house dating back to 15th century. Out of all manors and castles that I was at, this one was the most entertaining so far.
When you enter the manor grounds you are transported to year 1929 and you have to solve a murder mystery.
Spøttrup Middelalderborg is Denmark’s most well-preserved medieval castle. It was built in the 1520s and it was quite remarkable for its time as it had two moats for the defens
The Mønsted Limestone Mine is the largest limestone mine in the world. There are around 60km of tunnels, out of which 2 km are illuminated. It is also the largest hibernation place for bats.
Himmelbjerget or Sky Mountain in English is in contarary to what the name might suggest just a hill 🙂
Mandø is an island close to Ribe. What makes this island amazing, is that you have to plan a trip there according to the tides. Twice a day it is not possible to get there due to a road being underwater!
Ribe is Denmark’s and Scandinavian’s oldest town, established in the early eighth century.
As Ribe is really old city, you can find a lot of firsts and only’s in this place.
Esbjerg – the city itself is nothing spectacular, however the fact that it’s located next to the North Sea and the Wadden Sea National Park, is what makes the place amazing.
This year I decided its time to discover Denmark during summer. Why I didn’t do it during 5 years I am here? “Because what can be interesting in Denmark , huh ?” thinking 😉 And belive me, all my danish friends thought I am crazy to spend my holidays driving through Jutland.
They were so wrong!
