In-Depth Information
Djursland is a must - but there's lots for grown-ups here, too, particularly in the gourmet
hotspots at Femmøller outside
Ebeltoft
.
Sleepy
Hobro
offers history in the shape of a 10th-century Viking ring fortress, while
Rold Skov
lets you cut loose on forested mountain-bike trails and
Aalborg
puts on her
best face to impress you with a rejuvenated waterfront and the final design from revered
architect Jørn Utzon. At sweet
Sæby
you can connect with Danish literature and go back
for seconds at bountiful seafood buffets.
From
Frederikshavn
, catch a ferry to the island of
Læsø
to take a step back in time
(salt baths optional). Next is
Skagen
, a delightful slice of seaside life with a winning art
museum, boutique hotels and alfresco dockside dining. Southwest of Skagen, the walk-
about sand dunes of
Råbjerg Mile
let you know mother nature is still in charge, while in
Hirtshals
you can admire more of her handiwork at a huge aquarium. Relax in
Løkken
-
but not too much. Nearby
Fårup Sommerland
can get your heart pumping with amuse-
ment rides and a waterpark.
Heading south, stop to inspect WWII-era bunkers and devour a fab fishy dockside lunch
in
Hanstholm
before a visit to quirky 'Cold Hawaii': the small surfing village of
Klit-
møller
, where you can get wet and windblown in various ways. Be sure to stop by the new
sea baths at nearby
Nørre Vorupør
and take to some walking or cycling trails through the
dune heaths of
Thy National Park
. You'll return to Aarhus with the cobwebs well and
truly blown away.
