    Hiking

    Vendsyssel-Thy (after the landscapes Vendsyssel and Thy) or North Jutland Island (Danish Nørrejyske Ø) is the northernmost part of Jutland. The area is separated from the Jutian peninsula in the south by the Limfjord; however, it did not become an island until 1825.

    From around 1100 until the February flood of 1825, the island was still connected to the mainland and is still rarely considered an island in general perception. It is the second largest island in Denmark with an area of 4685.73 km². It has a population of 294,424 (January 1, 2020).

    Hiking

    Mountain lovers simply can't miss the highest peak in North Jutland. It measures an impressive 136 meters, but the upper 8 meters are not natural but a Bronze Age burial mound that was built here around 1000 BC. At the top stands a stele from 1930 decorated with the royal coat of arms. If Google Translate is to be believed, this isn't a classic summit inscription, but rather a prohibition against lighting fires on the summit or within a 12-meter radius.
