JUTLAND (JYLLAND)
The Jutland peninsula, homeland of the Jutes who joined the Anglos and Saxons in the conquest of England, is Denmark’s largest landmass. Beaches and campgrounds mark the area as prime summer vacation territory, while verdant hills, marshlands, and sparse forests add color and texture.
