East Jutland Halal Travel Guide

More than 60% of Denmark is cultivated land, making it the most intensely cultivated country in the world, and the East Jutland region is the largest agricultural producing area in the nation. Apart from the obvious agricultural activities and legacy nearly everywhere in this region, including many large historic manors and estates, East Jutland surprisingly also presents sizable natural sites of both national and international importance. Søhøjlandet (the lake-highlands) around Silkeborg is home to the largest single forest in Denmark (Silkeborgskovene) as well as the largest woodland area and the highest density of lakes and the highest hills in the nation. With the maximum natural height above sealevel being just 176 metres, this doesn't say much really, but when the rest of the land is so flat and the hills do tend to present some magnificent vistas. The source of the two largest river systems in Denmark, Gudenå and Skjern Å is located in the heart of this region and the lakes associated with the Gudenå, dominates the landscape. Djursland is the "nose" of the Jutland peninsula in the north-east. Thit is a rural area where the scarce population has made a living as farmers and fishermen for centuries, if not millenia. The region is rich with pre-historic tumuli, including many round barrows and several passage graves from the earliest of Stone Age. Djursland has a large diversity of habitats, with many rare or endangered species and most of the southern part has been designated as a national park since 2006, known as Mols Bjerge National Park.
