DENMARK
EAST JUTLAND
East Jutland lies on the Little Belt strait and Kattegat, and is a favourite for visitors for its rivers, lakes, and rolling hills - and more beaches. - Here, too, is one of Denmark's highest points: Himmelbjerget ("The Sky Mountain") rising all of 482 feet above sea level.
The East Jutland life is the active life: canoeing, angling, golfing, and sailing are all big favourites here. Denmarks second largest town, Århus, is the cultural capital of Jutland, with excellent restaurants, cafés, concerts, museums, shops, and amusements.
