Silkeborg is located in the middle of the lake district in Midtjylland. The main attraction is the Silkeborg Museum "Hovedgården". It is located in the city's oldest building from 1767. The archaeological exhibition focuses on the Iron Age. Of outstanding importance is the Tollundman, a bog body from the 3rd or 4th century BC. BC, which was found in 1950 near Silkeborg while cutting peat.

Viborg is the old capital of Denmark and one of Denmark's oldest cities, dating back to ancient and Viking times. Until 1655, the Danish kings were paid homage to after their appointment in Viborg.

Viborg Domkirke: With its two striking towers and unique frescoes, Viborg Cathedral is the city's classic landmark. It was built in the 12th century, but after several violent fires, only the old crypt has survived from the original building - today's "Romanesque" church with modern paintings was built later. It is considered the largest granite church in the world.

Randers is a city with narrow medieval streets and a lot of shopping tourists. It is at the end of the 30 kilometer long Randers Fjord. From the Gudenå River, Denmark's longest watercourse, significant amounts of fresh water flow into the narrow fjord, especially when the water in the Kattegat is low. During floods, however, the fresh water flow is stopped by the salt water penetrating from the outside. This leads to a different population of freshwater and saltwater fish.

Here is also the top attraction Randers Regnskov: under the huge domed roofs you can experience the rainforests of the three continents South America, Asia and Africa.

Beautiful campsite on the Baltic Sea; unfortunately only pebble beach. Fornaes Fyr Lighthouse is only 5 minutes away.

On the way north.

Skagen Camping: 5km south of Skagen, large site with more than 400 rather small pitches, swimming pool, 294 DKK

Northern tip of Denmark:

Skagerrak (North Sea) and Kattegat (Baltic Sea) meet at the northern long sandy beach of Grenen. Attention: thousands of tourists make a pilgrimage here! So do we.

Skagen is the northernmost town in Denmark. The important port city, which is also a well-visited seaside resort, is located on the northern tip of Jutland.

Råbjerg Mile is a shifting dune on the northern tip of Jutland. The sand masses reach heights of more than 40 meters and cover an area of about 120 ha. Due to the prevailing westerly winds, the sand moves in an easterly direction towards the Kattegat. Each year, the dune moves back an average of 15 meters. It is estimated that Råbjerg Mile will reach the 3.5 km distant road to Skagen around the year 2130 and will disappear into the Baltic Sea after another 30 years.

The largest seawater aquarium in Europe is in Hirtshals: Oceanarium. The main attraction of the aquarium is a huge, 5m high tank in which whole schools of fish and 2 sunfish live.

Mårup is a former church site in Lønstrup, located directly at Jammerbugten on the North Sea. The cliffs of Lønstrup Klint are 12 km long. Due to erosion, parts of the coast are constantly being eroded. To prevent the church from falling into the sea, it was demolished in 2007. The cemetery still exists, but the graves will soon fall into the sea.

A small parking lot is located directly at the cliff. Overnight stays are not prohibited and are used extensively. No infrastructure available.

An absolute highlight of our tour of Denmark!!
The walk to the 90m high sand dune with the old lighthouse is definitely worth it and an event in itself. Arrived at the lighthouse you can see the remains of the houses that were buried here by the shifting dune. The tower itself had also almost completely disappeared, but the sand has now uncovered it.

The view of the cliffs is beautiful too! A strong wind is blowing, which almost knocks you out, but that's (luckily) part of the coast! And cliff surfers take advantage of the strong updraft and glide along the coast directly above our heads.

On the way there it is worth taking a look at the sheep resting under the crooked trees - a beautiful picture!

Feggesund ferry to Mors Island.

In Skive, tops aren't just tops. You are art. They are the 11 stars of Skive. Jacob Jensen has his design workshop here in Skive and created these sculptures. All sculptures stand in a granite compass rose.

Port city on the west coast of Denmark on the Holmsland Klit Spit at the intersection between the North Sea and Ringkøbing Fjord.

Ribe is the oldest town in Denmark and dates back to the 10th century. the most important trading center in the north, due to the good harbor and the navigable river. Ribe is known for its well-preserved old town with the Romanesque cathedral, which was later extended in the Gothic style, and the late-Gothic town hall.

Tønder is one of the oldest towns on the land bridge between the North Sea and the Baltic Sea and is located directly on the border with Germany. It was already known in Flensburg as a port in 1017. In the Middle Ages it was one of the few harbors on the west coast of Schleswig. The ship in the city coat of arms bears witness to this today.
