Jutland Travel Guide

Jutland (Jylland), Denmark's western peninsula, is the only part of the country naturally connected to mainland Europe; its southern boundry is the frontier with Germany. In contrast to the smooth land of Funen and Zealand, the Ice Age-chiseled peninsula is bisected at the north by the craggy Limfjord and spiked below by the Danish "mountains." Himmelbjerget, the zenith of this modest range, peaks at 438 feet. Farther south, the Yding Skovhøj plateau rises 568 feet—modest hills just about anywhere else. The windswept landscapes trace the west coast north to Skagen, a luminous, dune-covered point.
