This region is particularly family-friendly. Make a pilgrimage to the most
famous land in all of Jutland: the pint-sized kids' paradise, Legoland. The
nearby village of Jelling is worth a quick stop to see the ancient rune stones
known as “Denmark's birth certificate.”
Planning Your Time
Aarhus makes a natural stop for drivers connecting Kristiansand, Norway and
Hirtshals, Denmark by ferry. Trains also link Aarhus to Hirtshals, as well
as to points south, such as Odense and Copenhagen. Allow one day and an
overnight to enjoy this busy port town.
Families will likely want a whole day at Legoland (near the town of Bil-
lund), while historians might consider a brief detour to Jelling, just 10 minutes
off the main Billund-Vejle road. Both are best by car but are doable by public
transportation.
