Denmark is among the most frequently visited and although Copenhagen is the prime destination with its century-old buildings, this Nordic country has a wonderful nature you ought not to miss.

The terrain is predominantly flat with a small ridge in the central part.

The nature of Central Jutland

Central Jutland is also known as the Central Denmark Region and includes the areas of East Jutland, West Jutland, and of course Central Jutland. The geography in the area is full of different forms! You have the Djursland peninsula, Søhøjlandet (the highest region in Denmark, which also has the largest number of lakes), the North Sea shore, the Limfjord and a few islands such as Samsø and Anholt.

One of our favorite places in Central Denmark is the Mols Bjerge National Park. It is situated on the Djursland peninsula and is very close to the town of Aarhus. If you are familiar with the language, don’t be fooled by the name of this park meaning Mols Mountain. Denmark doesn’t have any mountains, which is probably why even the smallest hills are called a mountain! It is true however that the landscape is unique because it is somewhat hilly. On top of the Mols Bjerge a beautiful scenery opens and makes the visit totally worth it!

Kongenshus Mindepark is another interesting destination along the way. This park is covered by health throughout. This park’s vegetation is simply a snapshot from the past when around a quarter of the Jutland peninsula was covered in heath. Today, this park is one remnant of heathland. More than 12 square kilometers of purple heather await you here. It is a remarkable landscape and a great place to spend a day wandering in the company of cute sheep!
