The Lake District

Introducing The Lake District

One of Jutland’s most prized areas is the Lake District (Søhøjlandet), as it dazzles with hills, forests and lakes not found anywhere else in Denmark. This region is home to Denmark’s longest river (the Gudenå; 160km), Jutland’s biggest lake (Mossø) and Denmark’s highest point, Ejer Baunehøj (a smidge under 171m, bless its cotton socks). In many countries, visiting the land’s highest/longest/biggest anything would probably be a passport to gobsmacking scenery and have you reaching for your camera and grasping for superlatives. Not in Denmark! Instead of craning your neck at sky-reaching peaks, here you can marvel over the gentle nature, neat and tame, and the superbly pretty scenery.
