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).

The highest point on the island is the 136-meter-high Knøsen north of the village of Dronninglund. Right next to it is Knaghøj, which reaches almost the same height. These hills are located on the ridge of Jyske Ås, which stretches over a length of 25 km and has further elevations over 100 meters: Allerup Bakker, Storstensbakken, Voldene and Skelbakken.

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.
