Wide coastlines, small bays with powder-white sandy beaches and the offshore islands of the North Sea make North Jutland a relaxing camping destination for families. Long hikes in the national park, where moose and reindeer can be seen, or cycling tours through Denmark's northernmost region also offer variety for travellers with dogs when camping in North Jutland.
If you don't want to miss out on long dune walks and exuberant bathing fun with the whole family on holiday, visit the campsites of North Jutland on the north coast. Charming little towns such as Skagen or Blokhus promise impressive natural landscapes by the sea as well as shopping, restaurants and cafés. On the east coast, visitors will find campsites near the beach that are just a stone's throw away from the tranquil town of Frederikshavn and its cultural offerings. Guests can explore enchanting villages such as Sæby or Hals, which will delight you with their nostalgic charm. Sporty travellers, on the other hand, prefer the western part of North Jutland and its campsites. Dense forests, Thy National Park and the Limfjord promise an active holiday while hiking or mountain biking.
Holidaymakers travelling from the north of Germany to the far north of Denmark cover a distance of around 430 km. Travelling from the southern parts of Germany, the journey takes about a day longer. From Munich, for example, it is around 1,200 kilometres to North Jutland. If you are travelling to Denmark from Hamburg, first take the A7 motorway via Neumünster and Schleswig to Flensburg, then take the B200 towards Apenrade/Bundesgrenze and cross the border to Denmark by motorhome or car.
The journey then continues along the E45 towards Roldvej/Nørager. You remain on the main road for another 250 kilometres before you are directed to exit 535 at Haverslev in the direction of Arden/Aars/Haverslev. It is now only a few kilometres to your holiday destination. Visitors follow the signs to Aalborg, the capital of the North Jutland region.
While the sea and its beaches invite you to swim and splash around, visitors camping in North Jutland can look forward to everything from culture to entertainment in the lively cities and towns such as Aalborg, Hjørring and Skagen.
From the lively beach promenade, which forms the heart of the city with restaurants, cafés and bars, you can jump straight into one of the natural swimming pools or refresh yourself under the water fountains in the pedestrian zone. In addition to the zoo, which is sure to delight the youngsters, there are museums and the architecturally impressive Musikkens Hus music centre, which hosts concerts.
In Hjørring in the north-west, holidaymakers can experience a fabulous range of cultural attractions. In addition to numerous museums, the most famous of which is the Vendsyssel Historical Museum, the many statues and fountains in the vibrant streets of the town as well as numerous theatres are a delight.
As the northernmost town in North Jutland, Skagen, situated on a peninsula, is a fascinating combination of natural beauty and modern architecture and culture. While Skagen's landscape attracts visitors with its vast dune spectacles, art lovers will be interested in the town's two remarkable museums: the Skagens Museum displays famous works of art and the Teddy Bear Museum delights children. The Skagen Fyr lighthouse is also a landmark of the tranquil town.
Whether travelling back to the Viking Age or into the water for surfing, fishing and canoeing: In addition to cultural activities, the sea in particular offers active holidaymakers paradisiacal opportunities.
The excavations at the Lindholm Høje Museum in Nørresundby date back to the 5th century. The peaceful, idyllic surroundings are the scene of over 150 rotting ship graves and a further 700 burial sites that have been uncovered north of Aalborg at the largest Viking battlefield in Scandinavia. A day trip to the Limfjord near Aggersund takes visitors to Denmark's largest Viking fortress, Aggersborg.
The west coast not only offers family-friendly beaches, but also a paradise for surfers. With a wind speed of 9 metres per second, it is one of the gustiest places in Europe, making it an Eldorado for water sports. The meeting point for all professional surfers is the long beach near the village of Klitmøller in Thy, which is considered the cold Hawaii of Denmark.
Scenery, culinary delights, music and sporting events characterise the wide range of festivities on offer in North Jutland throughout the year.
On the coast of Denmark, visitors can enjoy the best fish in the country: Mussels, herring, shrimps, crab meat and shellfish are served here as a main course or as part of a platter. When holidaymakers read Rulleål on the menu, they are talking about eel rolled up in onions and parsley. Vildmose potatoes, for which the region is famous, are served as a side dish. These can be bought freshly harvested in the local farm shops during the summer months.
North Jutland has a temperate climate with hardly any significant differences in temperature. It is generally a few degrees warmer in the eastern part of the Danish region than in the west. January is the coldest month with average temperatures of around 2 degrees. In July, the warmest month, maximum temperatures of a mild 23 degrees can be expected, with the average daily value fluctuating between 11.6 and 20.2 degrees. Water temperatures barely exceed 21 degrees. Up to 8 hours of sunshine per day are also measured in the summer month of June - almost twice as much as in the other months of the year.
