Northern Jutland
Why Go?
Northern Jutland, split from the rest of Jutland by the Limfjord, wows visitors with its
magnificent light and beautiful barren landscapes of shifting sands. The region is pro-
moted as 'Lysets Land', or the Land of Light, and if you witness the soft blue nuances by
the water as day turns into night, you'll understand why (and begin to comprehend the re-
gion's appeal to artists).
But it's not just painters who flock here. Windsurfers and beach-goers make a beeline
for the north the minute the weather turns kind. Families head off to the zoos, aquariums
and funparks, and seafood-lovers rejoice in the fresh-off-the-boat catch.
The area's most coveted tourist destination is Skagen, at Denmark's northern tip. It's
both a civilised haven of chichi restaurants and art museums, and a wild place where
nature calls the shots - which sums up the entire region, really.
