A unique wetland habitat

The Wadden Sea in South West Jutland provides a unique wetland habitat for a range of marine life, where the low tide reveals the seabed twice a day. For birdwatchers wishing to see the migration, visiting birds include thousands of geese that gather in the Meadows in October and giant flocks of starlings that create the natural phenomenon known as ‘black sun’.

The birth certificate of Denmark

Jelling has a very significant meaning in the Danish history. This was where Denmark was named, where the danes changed from Nordic paganism to Christianity and where the royal dynasty was founded by King Gorm the Old a 1000 years ago.
In Jelling 2 rune stones have been erected by Harald Bluetooth and Gorm the Old. The largest of these is considered to be the birth certificate of Denmark.

The special dishes of South Jutland

South Jutland sausages have a reputation that goes way back. Many varieties are on sale at local supermarkets, but it's more fun to buy a really good Danish salami where it's made - and you can sample the goods, too!
A really sweet souvenir to take home - or to eat while you're here - is the gingerbread made in Christiansfeld, from a traditional recipe that dates back a good century.
Right out west, the sheep and lambs graze on the dykes along the coastline. The salty grass makes lamb from the wetlands a tasty delicacy that you can buy at a number of farm shops.
Bon appétit!
