DENMARK
NORTH JUTLAND
North Jutland seems more water than land: the Limfjord, Kattegat, Skagerak, and the North Sea are all nearby, along with countless lakes and streams. Here are some of the best beaches in Europe - uncrowded and clean - and excellent windsurfing, yachting, and angling. Golfing? Always close by. Varied countryside: gentle hills, thick forests, moors, and many farms.
One amusement park in Jutland is Fårup Aquapark & Sommerland
