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.

Special features of 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.

How to get there

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.

Destinations in North Jutland

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.

Aalborg: vibrant capital in the heart of North Jutland

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.

Hjørring - a cultural magnet in northern Denmark

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.

The Northern Lights Skagen

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.

Top 5 sights

  • Råbjerg Mile: Denmark's longest mobile dune in Skagen is constantly moving north-eastwards.
  • Den Tilsandede Kirke: A few kilometres from Skagen stands this church, wrecked by the sand and dedicated to the holy seafaring guardian angel Laurentius.
  • Sun Ring: The Solringen, as it is called in Danish, is a water sculpture made of bronze and granite in the centre of Hjørring.
  • Toldbod Plads: In Aalborg, this tall fountain offers refreshment in summer. Four times a day, the spectacle is accompanied by a piece of classical music by Frederick Handel.
  • Skagen Grå Fyr: The grey lighthouse was built in 1858 and is the second tallest in Denmark at 46 metres.

Top 2 insider tips

  • Læsø Saltsyderi: Salt production on the island of Læsø gives visitors an insight into the traditional craft that has characterised the region since the Middle Ages. In the demonstration rooms, visitors can learn more about the wood used in the production process, and in the adjoining shop, the spice used throughout Denmark can be purchased.
  • Ørnereservatet: Visitors can learn all about eagles and their impressive hunting techniques in this special show. A falconer shows guests tricks with the intelligent birds. Visitors can also learn more about the animals by feeding the eagles and visiting a photo exhibition.

Activities and excursions

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.

Time travel to the Vikings

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.

Activities on the water

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.

Events

Scenery, culinary delights, music and sporting events characterise the wide range of festivities on offer in North Jutland throughout the year.

January

  • Winter swimming festival in Skagen: Isbryderne, or icebreakers, is the name given to the hardy participants in this annual swimming event. Brave swimmers jump into the ice-cold water on Sønderstrand early in the morning and brave the wind and waves.

May

  • Råbjerg cycle dune race: 30 participants attempt to cross the beautiful landscape of North Jutland near Skagen on their bikes in the fastest time at this sporting event. The challenging route covers 20 kilometres of narrow paths, secluded beaches and, as a highlight, the longest sand dune in Europe.
  • Carnival in Aalborg: Holidaymakers can experience how to celebrate in Denmark at this event, which attracts up to 60,000 people every year. Dressed in colourful costumes, people dance to hot music rhythms in the parade, which is one of the longest in Europe, through the streets of Aalborg before partying into the evening at Kildeparken.

July

  • Skagen Festival: Denmark's oldest music festival offers concerts for all folk lovers as well as fans of rock, jazz and blues. Performers perform from the town centre to the harbour and in the Kappelborg Culture House.

Gastronomy

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.

Weather

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.
