Central Jutland
Why Go?
Easily the largest and most varied of all Danish regions, central Jutland encompasses dra-
matically different features, from the calm beaches of the sheltered east coast to the wild
and woolly 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.
The real beauty of this region is that you can skip between themes depending on your
mood. Fancy world-class art and top-notch restaurants? Aarhus, Jutland's main city and
Denmark's second-largest metropolis, can provide. How about Viking history? Set sail for
Hobro. Religious history? Off to Jelling. Want to explore the great outdoors? Head for
Rold Skov or Silkeborg. Care to tackle nature's forces? Let loose on the waters of Hvide
Sande. And OK, you've suppressed that inner child long enough - make a beeline for
plastic-fantastic Legoland, and beware the accompanying pangs of childhood nostalgia.
